What do you think of HDR?
Notice the difference between the originals and the edited images, above. I used High Dynamic Range – HDR to bring out the best exposure in each area of the image, then I added Levels, as needed in Photoshop. After a nice swim at Heise Hot Springs yesterday, we took a beautiful drive up the South Fork of the Snake River. So on this first day of Spring, I celebrate the changing of the seasons in Idaho with these images. For the panoramic, I shot six overlapping images and merged them together in Photoshop. I did not have my Canon SLR with me, so I took these shots with my Canon Powershot 710IS. I love that little camera. It is a point-and-shoot, but has manual settings, so it is a sweet, but power-packed camera that always comes in handy, because it is easy to have along for the ride.
I love these. The panoramic is beautiful and I love the colors that HDR brought out. It still looks real and not too much. I love all of the Bannack shots. The silhouette shot is so amazing. In square ice cream shot did you take 3 images into HDR? I love that shot and I want to go back there seeing all of your cool photos. Thanks for explaining your process on all your pictures because it makes me want to go take pictures and try it all.
