Stan that is how I normally feel about HDRs. I was just trying to get it into 
the Doug and Mark show and see something of mine projected. I have gone through 
my shots from GFM and found several that I should have worked on and submitted 
instead of the 3 I chose. It always seems that way for me. I have a very hard

Hi Ted*,

First of all, I wish all the best to your Grandson and hopefully all this 
mystery sickness will be nothing more than a fading memory soon.


The shot is good, it's well composed I like it. The moment, the framing and 
the feeling of the picture is just excellent.


But the post process is just not good for me. I feel the picture way too 
oversaturated and you have a lot of 'HDR-Glow'. There are many HDR softwares 
around, which can create nice Tone Mapped pictures from Expo-Bracketed 
shots, but I haven't found any that would do the job properly. My method for 
HDR photos is a mix of using Photomatix / Lightroom / Photoshop and the 
workflow based on the workflow of Joel Grimes (who is famous for his HDR 
backgrounded portraits) with adding my own twists.


But if you would share the original brackets (or was it in-camera HDR?) I 
would love to give it a try to post-process it.


Cheers,
.t

*Ps.: After Room 404 in the movie, Four Rooms I don't dare to call anyone 
Theodore :)

as I stated earlier, I submitted this to the contest for fun  The shot was 
done in camera in my K 7 on HDR2 setting so there is not a set of exposures. 
I 
did work with it a little in Lightroom but did not increase the saturation. I 
boosted the black level and also vibrance a  little. I also boosted recovery 
and 
clarity sliders. Little bit of graduated on the foreground and sky and that was 
mostly it. I did have misgivings about the ghosting on the ridge so I did try 
to 
lighten the sky to reduce that some. Thanks for your comments.

Ted,

Wish this picture would be exposure bracketed ;)

That was my idea as well, being in-camera HDR, and I still believe it would 
make a marvellous picture with a detailed post process.


That's why I never really let the camera do anything with my shots :) It's a 
kind of 'I am pressing the button and you just give me whatever comes out of 
your sensor, m'kay?' relationship between me and the camera :)


All the best,

Because you shot it with the K7's in-camera HDR.

They specifically mentioned during the warm-up show that HDR was right 
out *EXCEPT* if you could do HDR in the camera.


You should have fudged the EXIF data to make it look like you were using 
CaNikon.
