Hi all.. just wanna share my HDR pics... got little only...i'll upload slowly when PP is finish la.. right now, still finding new and nice subject to shoot! I'm just amatur and photography is just hobby... some taken by D80 and some are from Nikon L6.. if u all pro enough, try guessing which are taken by DSLR and PnS camera!

First batch, euro tour series:

3rd shot is awesome, definitely can feel the power in it. A very good attempt I must say

thanx! it was taken in scotland.. at a roadside... last winter (2006)

3rd is nice .

Hi, nice try with HDR, however if I may offer my two sen Almost all the pics are overly saturated, and many of them exhibit a total loss of detail in many highlight areas. I believe HDR is supposed to preserve as much highlight and shadow information as possible, not clipping them out entirely. Let's take them one pic at a time:

Pic 1) The sky is rendered a very unnatural blue with signs of clipping. Even the little bits of cloud at the bottom left of the Eiffel is blue in colour May I suggest a little less saturation and less strength on the Shadow/Highlights feature in Photoshop.

Pic 2) The tower is again over-saturated, with clipping of the tower's lights, rendering them into just a patch of yellow light. Also, the sky areas around the tree branches have a weird glow. Nice composition btw.

Pic 3) The overly blown out sun and the areas around it. Perhaps you should have taken another much darker exposure just for the sun? On the left side however the sky area is nicely done, as is the foreground. However, I feel that the poles are a little too bright, compared to their shadows in the grass. Nonetheless, this scene was composed very nicely (looks like something Ansel Adams would do)

Pic 4) Again many areas are clipped. Also, by removing too much contrast the whole scene looks like a painting. I notice also that you brought out too much of the shadow areas under the train, which shows up a lot of shadow noise.

Pic 5) No complaints here, nicely done. If I were to nitpick however I'd wish you composed a little higher; seeing more of the arches would have been nicer than seeing part of the floodlights used to light up the mural. Of course by tilting your cam higher the arches would cave in towards each other more, if you could move across the tracks (LOL) you could solve the problem.

Pic 6) Again you need to ease off on the color saturation a little The people in the background have orangey/red faces, just like the flowers

As for whether or not any of these were shot with a compact or DSLR, it's hard to say since all the pics are in 5:4 format which is typical of most digicams. Furthermore, it is hard to tell at this size. It seems as though they were all shot with a compact digicam except for maybe the indoor shots (4 & 5) and perhaps the sunset shot which by default many digicams would underexpose terribly unless it came with exposure comp.

Here's an example of what a reasonably nice HDR image looks like. Notice how almost all the highlights (except for the sun and small bits of the sun's reflection on the windows top right) are preserved, while the shadow details are intact. Even the shadow details of the trees top left are there, but they do not overpower the scene.

IMO HDR in photography should aim to create images that reflect as much as possible what we would see with our own eyes. Anything more than that will "overcook" the image, resulting in less than ideal end results. Anyhow, thanks for sharing and I hope to see more of your pics in future!

Cheers.

thanx for the comment.. i'll try to improve on my others pic..thanz!

wow...all nice...very cool d picture...

teach me bro...

just google for HDR la.. me also like that at first...

5th Pic is COOL!

wow! too colorful... a little overdone i think...

another two pics...taken at ampang

#7

for bigger size and clearer detail, inside spoiler:


#8

Good series. Some might be a tab bit overly done though. Keep it as natural as possible and the outcome will be more pleasant..

all the pic look so fake....i think over do already

This is what HDR shall look like:

gregy: a very inspiring link you got there

razuryza: #11 works for me but i think the horizon slanted a bit la haha but that shouldnt be a big problem, improve in time

one more extra before i start the masjid series...

How to do those effects? use photoshop?

these pics are using HDR.. high dynamic range.. to achive those effect, must shoot multiple exposures... the normal ones, the underexposed, and the overexposed..and then combine all the exposures to to achive the tone u want under HDR la.. for more info, just google it..this is just the simplest way that i can say... got lots of info and technique also software that can do HDR.. yes.. Photoshop also can generate HDR image.. CS2 and above la..

new series..Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah series.. taken in the morning.. about 7am plus+

added another one.. personally, one of my fav shots....especially the sky and clouds and the 'hole' in the clouds. above the mosque...u all can entrepret whateva u like...huuhuu

#16

Mini Cooper series... not mine.. my relative ones...huehue...

#17



#18



#19

Hmmm, nice touch on the red cooper XD but i think the colors are a little bit over saturated well that's my personal opinion

i just want to make the red looks 'yummy'

your mini cooper series look like oil painting. I think if we can get that same effect like that in close up portraits, it going to be very nice... maybe can print on canvas

love no 16, nice view

is that a civic?

yeah..yeah..civic at the side.. and behind civic, chevrolet... anyway...all not mine.. my relatives onee...

can2...but..thru my experience, when it comes to skin tone.. usually it turns bad..hahah...usually lucky only in HDR...

These two are among pictures that i shot when i went to Bandung, Indonesia.. (pasarbaru the exact place..)

#20 Tudung Models



#21 Becak Parking..(trishaw in indons language)

Ini kat mane ni?
Melaka!

kat Bandung, Indonesia ler.. kan dah tulis tu... kat melaka mana tulis Becak..kat melaka, beca... hah..siap ade parking special tu...

kenapa pic #17-21 nampak mcm pudar? cube up kan original shot..

pudar tang mana tu bro? leh explain pudar macam ape?

Ironically, the way you HDR-processed your photos made you lose your shadow and highlight (dark and light) regions, consequently decreasing your dynamic range.

like the Red cooper shots...

the rest... umm...



LDR?

oh really..thanx for informing..not noticing dat..

11# is nice.....

I love the red cooper. Really nice...

16 is nice . im new to photography, never tried hdr before.

erm..so lucky only... i even cant bare to see into the viewfinder.. the sun too bright maa.. barely can see the all the infos inside the viewfinderr..

u should try.. and keep experimenting.. u will be surprise with the result.. me too just into HDR.. and its fun when sumtimes ur pic turns beautiful and sometimes so ugly.. haha

The Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah series.. in BLUE...hehe..taken at dusk....
