[Boots]

Lovely!

 

[Darkslinger]

Great shot Alan, I particularly like the waves shot!

Lovely Alan. That’s a cracker an absolute must if you’ve gone to Stourhead

 

[Nostromo]

That's lovely, great framing.

 

[NickD]

That's a lovely scene. The light on the autumn colours is great.

I have been experimenting with HDR this week, for the first time.

This was quite a challenge, trying to find a landscape scene that had some interest.

 

[AlanDorset]

Other attempts, all using HDR

I tried several at Knowlton Church but none of them really clicked with HDR, something not quite right, perhaps the light?

Nice shots Alan. Personally, I quite like HDR type images, although I appreciate that it's an acquired taste.

 

[Boots]

Nice set - I really like image numbered 1.

 

[NickD]

I really like your chosen shot. There's something about bodies of water that add a sense of peace to an image.

 

[Allan.H]

The last one I think the ruins are a little to close to the left edge needs more room, all good shots for the theme.

 

[Darkslinger]

Lovely images Alan, I think that I like the first and last ones of your alternatives.

 

[Kell]

I think you've managed to avoid the HDR trap of overdoing it.

I like your chosen shot, and peaceful Landscape 3.

Good set.

Good set, as Kell said they are not overdone. What bracketing did you use?

 

[Nostromo]

A good set of images, I like the last one.

Nice shots Alan. Personally, I quite like HDR type images, although I appreciate that it's an acquired taste.

Certainly creates more opportunities to get a good picture in difficult light. I’m continuing to practice

The water made the difference to the atmosphere, I agree

Agree about the positioning of the ruins. Somewhat rushed with an influx of walkers and dogs to avoid.

I kept it at +\- 1 stop.
It seemed to me that it was very easy to overprocess a merged image, especially the ruin.
More experimenting to be had !
