Notice The TP 52 Challenge for 2021 chat / discussion thread Week 52 Showcase

Having a Mojo problem at the moment, but I'm determined to keep with the 52 come hell or high water. I need to get planning some landscape day trips out by my self for a bit later on in the year when the sun is not so hot and stays in bed longer.

I can't believe how fast this week has gone,
I haven't even thought about the previous weeks theme yet :(

Reactions: LC2
On to week 30, as I noted earlier there is no scheduled Snappers Choice this session.
In case anyone is struggling with the the HDR / Tone map technique,
it may not be the easiest of tech's,
therefore out of the goodness of my heart
you can have an extra one (y)

Here we are again so soon! Feme Eve :banana: :naughty: :banana:
 
Getting behind a bit now but I've got my Fuji back from repair so maybe I can start a catch-up.
 
It's Thursday :clap:
Hoping for a good theme this week as I'll be down west in glorious Pembrokeshire for the week...
Please be kind @Cobra :)
 
OK Hands up all those that want a new theme....
 
Gotta hand it too ya! Good theme :)
 
Can I ask people what they're using to create HDR pics?

I can do them in lightroom, but I don't seem to have that much control and the HDR images look like normal images (which is what I would probably want in a normal situation) but means I can't seem to create something which looks obviously HDR, if that makes sense.

That's the idea, its supposed to subtle.
I use Affinity to tone map.
Some camera's will do it in house as it were.
Or bracket say 3 images and merge them.
Most editing software will "Photomerge"
And I assume light room will also do this. I don't use it though.
 
I get it - it's like focus stacking, you shouldn't be able to tell it's been done in most instance. But sometime I see really overprocessed HDR shots and would at least like to be able to experiment with them.

I normally take three bracketed shots and then do it in Lightroom - but as I say, the process appears to be totally automated ie you get what you get.


I do have a very old copy of Photomatrix, but I think it's broken.

Again I don't use LR, but once merged there must be sliders you can play with to adjust colour brightness contrast etc?

I had a free program, I think it was Aurora 2018, possibly HDR in the title. In a moment of madness, I paid for the latest version - I don’t think I can resist a bargain I rarely use it, but once or twice it has been really useful to blend pics.

I just had a google and there are still free ones to be had… https://expertphotography.com/free-hdr-software/

edit: actually it looks like some of them watermark your images, so not that useful!

I think it might be user error in this case. Possibly that the times I've tried it, my over-exposed images have been too over-exposed.

But I followed a tutorial online and got slightly better results. Will have to try harder - how long till the next technique?
 
I think I used to use luminance (free) but trying with the images now just crashed it.
Also have Affinity - File > HDR - does it all for you... I tried with 3x jpgs from 1x dng raw - but the sky messed up. Was advised to use the raw... so I did...
Seems to have better results... Detailed pre processing setting...
Didn't know LR had a HDR.. so I'll give that a go with some other pics later :) since we can keep HDR'ing all pics (lol)

Yet again, I've not even thought about the current theme.

This week's may not be everyone's prefurence, I see foresee a lot pet images or shoehorns. Which ever you prefur..

OK I'm done with the puns .... Fur.
 
Fur enough. We won't pelt you fur it :)
