Originally posted by BBurton My objection to many HDR photos is that they appear too flat and have insufficient contrast; your photos IMO are diminished somewhat because of inadequate contrast.
Hi Bruce - I find your comment interesting. If I play around with the contrast too much I find the photos started to look off to my tastes. Using the HDR software I find that the end result is just closer to what I actually saw with my eyes that day. For me the amalgamation of the photos brings out the depth of colour in the clouds, the highlights in the building and even the colours in the grass and the final result is a truer representation than you can get with a single shot. As far as contrast, I don't know, I'll need to ponder that some more. What I have done is included the three exposures which I used. I really think the tone map is the best. Robert
