Hey /p/.

Getting into HDR's and am wondering if there are any people experienced with it who have any advice. Softwares you use, techniques, etc.

I use a Nikon D50, align and merge in Photoshop CS3, tweak in Photomatix Pro.

Picture related: My first HDR. I'll post the original afterwards.

Learn to process properly and drop the HDR shit. The Original is better.

I quite like your HDR version. Don't listen to the people that say HDR is bullshit, there is nothing wrong with experimenting with different techniques. The people in this thread who say its shit probably only use b/w film and traditional darkroom techniques. These people are faggots.

The processing is great, however the photo itself stands as an example as to why Anon hates HDR. Your subject is boring and if it wasn't HOLYSHITprocessed it would suck. In other words, the only art in this is in the processing. It's purely aesthetic.

tl;dr: Lipstick on a pig. Inb4 border rage.
