This is my first try with HDR, any suggestions, progams or tips for future photos?

Learn to straighten your photos before you worry about HDR.

you have something on your lens. also, why is this HDR? for what reason do you need it?

this could be in a magazine advert for some random consumer stuff made up for corporates. they tend to use a lot of HDR in those adverts.

It was intended.

I like the outcome. From how many photos, from how far away?

>>90245
For the sake of learning?

Also, something similar could have been able to achieve with polari...whatever filter and a long shutter speed.

If you mean the dot in the sky, the sky is a different pic with a different camera as the orginal pic is overexposed, the sky was completely white.

Dunno, just want to try out something new, and I've seen HDR pics which've been really awesome.

3 photos, one with no cars, and one with the blurred/overexposed cars. Then a sky image from a completely different series.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Ad agencies often use properly exposed photos in magazines, but HDR is still primarily the realm of 11-year-old deviantart fags.

There is no reason for this photo to be HDR, the dynamic range in this scene is well within what would be recorded on ordinary film/RAW file. If you're shooting digital, a little post processing to boost shadow detail would have the same effect. If you're shooting slide film, that's just how it would look. HDR is a tool for managing scenes with extremely high dynamic range, not for recovering shadow detail in scenes where it isn't beyond the range of the camera/film. If you just want your photo to look funny with halos and screwed up contrast, the effect can be achieved easily enough without bothering with HDR.

Here is an example of HDR employed properly. While it's a shitty photo, it illustrates the idea of recording a dynamic range that would otherwise be outside of what the camera is capable of capturing in a single exposure.

If you're combining pictures of different scenes, that's not HDR it's compositing.

This isn't HDR.

I like it, just because I'm a Stockholmfag.

OP here.
True, I'll think of it. Well was mostly a experiment with pics I've taken without HDR in mind.

I take it no one bothers with graduated filters nowadays, what with HDR?

I still do, they're quicker and easier. Plus I'd rather spend time behind the camera than in front of the computer.

I still like the Lee/Cokin type filter system and screw on filters rather than using Photosop filters and effects to do it. As 90302 said, I prefer and feel it is worth putting in a little effort behind the camera to get the shot good first time rather than salvaging it with a thousand hours in Photoshop.

The water shot posted in this thread at least showed the potential that HDR really can have for some difficult scenes, rather than that awful halo mess that keeps coming up everywhere.

QFT. I'm the biggest digital advocate out there, but there's something very great to be said for traditional shooting and working with filters in camera gives a better base raw file to work with in Photoshop.

And a soft focus filter, I'm sorry, just can't be duplicated by yucky Gaussian Blur.

HDR is shit, though.

Very, very nice pic, OP!
