Default My first try at HDR - Tampa skyline...

I just took a few pics of my car this weekend at a local parking garage. I've been looking for a place to get a nice view of it and I think I've found it.

This is my first try at HDR processing. The lighting was a bit weird being some harsh orange lighting, but it came out okay. I think a better time to shoot here for HDR would be at sunset. I'll have to go back and try it again some time.

Anywho... here are a few of them. I'll add more to the thread later when I get them finished.










A couple other random non HDR shots I took while at the pier:

Thanks guys. The blue tint is just amplified by processing it in HDR. They're acutally just white LED's in the enclosures.

Yep. I took three bracketed RAW photos for each one. -2, 0, 2

I'd love to try some sunset HDR shots. I think the high contrast would make for some more interesting effects.

doesn't really look like HDR. the red tones are really super strong in the first couple and the rest don't really pop too much. the last HDR shot I like though. the blues in the skyscraper and in your lights are cool.

My attempts at HDR are much worse though

Start going for more than just three exposures to help you truly bring out the shadows and highlights in your HDR.
