QUOTE(kelvinyam @ Aug 5 2007, 07:27 PM) Hoongji, am I looking at 3D images without 3D glasses? Just joking. You don't necessary have to merge 2 photos to create HDR, try it with a single photo. my hand was shaking when i took those pics. and i think those 3D effects were from my camera (canon S3IS). i feel that this cam creates alot of chromatic thingy (am i correct with the term?). |

QUOTE(simmytan @ Aug 2 2007, 08:27 AM) Hey all havent come here for a while, took some HDR thought want to share here not bad leh An ordinary day http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i16/simm..._3f94929360.jpg I tried handheld for this HDR below, result? Failed failed failed hahaha, train better arms first then perhaps i can attempt HDR without tripod http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i16/simm..._6c97613d21.jpg Both pics are not taken in RAW but JPEG, RAW gives better result but the processing time too long..no patience lar  just the 1st shot the color too saturated for my taste. As for the 2nd, well you seem to know the problem yourself  QUOTE(Peisqo @ Aug 5 2007, 06:50 PM) haha HDR is all fake d But still they are works of art! keep it up man  QUOTE(hoongji @ Aug 5 2007, 07:14 PM) my first HDR attempt. learnt my lesson, next time should use tripod. I like the 2nd shot. Yes use a tripod! Unless ur doing a 1 raw HDR.http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g178/hoo...G_2705_6_7a.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g178/hoo...G_2752_3_4a.jpg QUOTE(wlcling @ Aug 5 2007, 09:11 PM) hmm... my crappy first try with photomatix... although needed additional PP... Very very natural colors! Me likes! don't think i did it correctly though..http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/7113/dsc398123copyay3.jpg |

Which version of Photomatix are you all using? I tried using version 1.2.1 and when I generate out the HDR image, the image looks like that is combined. When I save the image, it ends up being like a normal picture

What kind of HDR you're looking for? An exaggerated one or a more natural one? Both can be done in Photomatix. And once u brought the generated HDR image to tone mapping, its always different than what you see before.But once in the Tone Mapping menu, the preview image doesn't even turn out like the HDR image generated. |

You can use layer and layer mask to brighten up the dark area a little.
