big props, tanner. you have some serious skillz.
what are you using for your HDR software?

 

[tanner_ochel]

I use Photomatix Pro 3.1.3, then save to 16 bit TIFF (original are RAW). Lightroom for tone adjustments, Photoshop for local touch-ups.

I used this tutorial to learn: Real World HDR
http://www.kelbytraining.com/instructors/matt-kloskowski.html
It focuses on making the photos look realistic, but also shows you how to make them surrealistic (more a slider and hit a different radio button basically).

i might need to be investing in photomatix. i love the look of it... when done properly.

 

[mainstreet1997]

I made an HDR of the France pavillion on a busy Thursday evening. In a way I kind of like the look of the people moving around!

Its just a sample because I dont have a registration code

 

[gary]

katie and tim, photomatix seems to be the hands down favorite hdr software out there right now
lot's of pro's and not just kelby raving about and using it

and i forgot to add, katie, that's really well done, i'm not normally a big fan of the ghosted people look, i like it either empty, or the way it was when i saw it and if it was full of people, so be it, but this is really really nice

 

[Tim]

your france image looks great... just noticed it.

 

[Craig]

wow, these are all so good. great job tanner and katie

watching it now!
does it restrict you to the first 3 videos if you are not a member?

 

[tanner_ochel]

Yep, it only gives you that preview. I'll put together a mini tutorial about for how I shoot for HDR, and then use PhotoMatix + Lightroom/Photoshop.
