Tried using Genuine Fractals? (Photoshop plugin). Does a good job on some things.

Man I love using my friends Mac Pro simply because it's newer and faster than my 5 year old notebook. It's cold and rainy outside so I sat in and worked on a few HDR shots without having to worry about melting the computer innards. Tone-mapped as well to achieve the fotoart effect which I absolutely love but can't do with my slow crappy system. I need to get a desktop real soon!

Most of these are from Japan, last one from the oil rig outside my apt.

what software do you use for the hdr?

The oil rig pic looks amazing with the HDR touch - like impressive artwork. :icon14:

I use photomatrix for processing HDR.

I sent that oil rig photo in today to get it printed(30"x24") as a gift for my buddy for letting me use his Mac all day :icon25:

Done, thanks. :icon14:

btw, you might want to remove your email address up there. Spam-bots crawl forums all night long, so you could be asking for it.

thank you, I've heard about it.
How many pics you take(3, 5, 7...) and how about the expositions steps?

man, HDR sucks mad ballz

Post by **A1yssa** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 7:27 pm

hdr is cool!

Post by **Doombrain** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 7:36 pm

Yeah. Take a picture of anything. HDR it, shit photoshop frame it and put your name in the bottom right. Don’t forget to add a drop shadow. Then bam, ultimate photo that everyone thinks is awesome BECAUSE IT LOOKS FUNNY.

So far I’ve only seen one I liked, and that just looks like good lighting.

Take your HDR and fuck off.

I only like HDR when it's used to expand dynamic range of a still photo

"tone-mapping"? I'm always up for gimmicks, can you explain how you did that?
Looks very 50's, it's cool

If you don't like that oil rig image you're homosexual and can I come over and have sex with your ass?
slipped that in there, i'm sneaky

yep, I'm fascinated by HDR, but I'm not sure if I really like it.

HDR and tone-mapping helps to evoke my idealized ultra-realistic memory of the scene. Some see life in HDR...some don't.

There are two ways to go about HDR. Shooting in JPEG mode, take multiple exposures at different stops (i.e. +4, +2, 0, -2, -4). In RAW mode a single properly exposed image will work. You can extract as many images with different exposures from that. I use both modes of process.

What is tone-mapping?
