Couple of shots I took this past Sunday at a nature preserve near Lancaster SC called "40 Acre Rock" (actually 14 acres of exposed granite). Shot early morning (6:30am) using the K20D and DA 12-24mm f/4 (actual shots: 12 mm at around f/8 I think).
These were 5-shot brackets at 2-stop intervals, camera DNG files merged to HDR in PhotoMatix Pro, tonemapped using details enhancer and saved as 16bit TIFF (ProPhotoRGB). Minor white balance correction and sharpening in Photoshop CS4 and then rez'd down, converted to 8bit sRGB and saved as JPGs.
Although most of my results were good, next time I'm going to cut it back to 1.3-1.5 stop intervals as 2 stops seemed to be overkill.
Wadda ya think? (first submission to this Photo Critique section so be gentle!)
Got a couple more coming of some nudes I did here....gotta get approval from the wife first
