[My first HDR :eek: ... I blame all the people here who turned me into a none hater :lol: ]

So how did I do? I know I made a fatal mistake using ISO 1600 :suspect: (the one thing I forgot to check before snapping away) But it took a lot of hard work to sort myself out to take the RAW shots needed. I'll have another go later when the hubby is home so he can help me out a bit.... But for now, what are your thoughts?

Version 2! This one is done using ISO100 and :eek: 9 Raw images! I like this one better...

I am starting to like these HDR effects.

This is surely a great first try. I really like it.

I like the subject too.

Love the stables and trees not loving the sky as much as the white cloud just looks really burnt out rather than HDR'd.... I'm a complete numpty when it comes to HDR though so I haven't a clue how to fix it or maybe I'm just wrong and it doesn't need fixing!

I think the building and its immediate surroundings are good....but I'd crop out the clouds, at their base, as H.R. Ford says.

Maybe I need to re-calibrate my monitor, those clouds look fine to me, not blown out at all. How are they on the original jojosmojo?

I like it! Love to see a bigger version on here though! Excellent first go at HDR - subtle and effective imo!

OK, I have added version 2 to the first post :suspect:

Nice, yet unnatural, building colours. Trees are blurred too much for my liking ***.

Not bad. Like snappy I think the "motion" blur in the trees makes slightly uncomfortable viewing. You may be able to use a single layer for this part though :shrug:

Clouds look fine to me and not blown on my screen. I still prefer the first

Thanks guys :) now I'm not sure which one I like better :lol: you all have valid points and it's making me think twice. Oh well, I don't suppose I did too bad for my first couple of go's ;)

Thanks again :love:
