| Re: Your best photography
Did you do this with Photomatix or Photoshop Merge HDR? I find the color seems un-natural when using Photomatix. Perhaps it is over-saturation or in the processing but that is why I thought I would try it on Photoshop. I also noted the Photomatix produced noise and not a good blend of images with a lot of fine detail.
In my images above which I did in Photoshop, I think the color is natural (could use a little more contrast and brightness perhaps). But the scene looks natural and the HDR process has allowed for the shadow/high-light detail to be reproduced with good resolution and blending of the images.
A very interesting shot Christian but I would like to tone the colors down and soften the image somewhat (less sharpening.) Do you see where I am coming from? The purpose of HDR is to increase dynamic range of the image, not create super sharp, unnaturally colored images. I am a novice in this process and trying to get to the point of realizing when HDR is appropriate (high contrast subject matter) and how to best produce a natural looking image.
