    Well, You have a Halo effect on both pictures. The guitar picture also looks a little out of focus. Did you use a tripod?

    Yea I used a tripod, but I have to manally change EV settings. It may have knocked it out of alignment a bit.

    The first one for me is the most effective as the hdr is pretty subtle. Nice application of it.

    Re: My Intro into HDR Photography.

    Welcome to the Forum. The second image has some very noticable blending problems. Specifically in the sky, near the power pole, and lines. The sky to the left of the pole is much darker than the sky on the right of the pole. Same thing above and below the power lines.

    For me, these scenes don't look like they would need to be HDR images, the scene just doesn't look like it was that contrasty. Perhaps it's because of the blending that was done.

    Re: My Intro into HDR Photography.

    I dig the HDR effect on the SRT4. My only compliant is its over sharpened. Another compliant, that ride needs to be dropped. It has the off roading look from that angle. I'm feeling the tire/wheels combo too. Anyways..from the photographic point of view, i like it.
    Lightroom is my Darkroom...Hahaa.

    I was practicing with HDR. Not sure when to and when not to use it. I wanted some HDR photgraphs.

    Thanks...Guess your a car enthusiast as well. So am I. The drop on the car is actually 1 inch compaired to the regular SRT-4. My model is the ACR edition. The rims and tires are factory.

    Re: My Intro into HDR Photography.

    Check out the link to the thread below. There is some very good info about using HDR in it.


    HDR questions

    The best time to use HDR is when you have a scene that has too much contrast for your camera to capture in one photo. For example: A sunset where you want to show the foreground elements. Your camera can't capture the total range of bright light, and showdow. Using multiple exposures, for the brightest areas of the photo, and for the darkest area of the photos, then blendint the images together is when you would want to use HDR.

    If the scene is lit so the camera can capture the total range, HDR isn't needed.

    Thanks for the information regarding HDR. I will check out that website for more information....
