Thanks, i appreciate it
You can get pretty cool images with the right subjects, but like DE said above; its hard to determine what will look good without shooting and trying it.

One from yesterday. HDR is a weird way to get an image, there is a differant workflow for every image and its often hard to tell if a subject will work out in HDR.
HDR tips~ Use photomatix , Work in .Tiff or the noise will kill the image. Reduce saturation , Watch out for the haloes , Remember to bail out early if results look poor in photomatix as most subjects suck in HDR.
That is fantastic Deadeye! I am so envious of you guys, but I guess I am just a babe in the woods. Some day.....

Psuedo-hdr of an old barn on Rt4, single image converted and tonemapped in Photomatix. Seems that the older version (v. 2.5) cannot open the 14bit RAW files, thus i had to install v. 3.0 to be able to open them. The interface is actually a little nicer too!
That is wicked cool! I love that ominous looking cloud over the barn!

Figured I would add one in from back about a month ago.
Oh wow! Wicked cool! You guys should get together and open a photography school!
I already have you at least one student!

Was this during the Blessing of the Fleet or the Lighthouse challenge? This is a great shot even if it wasn't run through HDR but I am biased since the island is in my front yard.
Is there HDR freeware out there? OR Where can I get more info without bugging you and Mr. X too much?:I'll buy a round if you guys get together for a forum photog session.

KOM526, That shot is HDR. It was taken during the Lighthouse Challenge weekend. I had wanted to go out to the island for about two years, and since Blackistone got finished this year, I had to go out this summer. It is a great place. I think I will try to get back out there this coming spring and stay for an afternoon. I didn't really explore the photo ops all around the island.

I tried it not sure what I need to do
Here is a tree just messing with a free Linux HDR program called Qtpfsgui. Can't beat the price since it is free. I just set my camera to do +- 1 for white balance, and let the program do this with it. I should try to get out tomorrow and see what else I can shoot.

A little over done IMO...per the halo around the edges. Good effort though, could be a pretty cool HDR with a little less processing.

I thought so too. I found its a little bit better processing with the older version of fattal and I did one other version just cant remember the name. I think I will head out today and try some shots at National Harbor if I can get the wife out of the house.
Here is the older fattal processing with some noise reduction. Still has halo effect not as bad. One other issue I found was in the other image I did not align the photos so any ghosting or focus issues we exaggerated.
This is the other version of what type I cannot remember. The colors are bit different in this one and almost no halo effect.

Ok here its a little better.
OK so I found out using jpg files was not helping things so now I am using RAW converting to tif and processing. They look better.
version 1
Version 2
Version 3

In some cases jpg will work. When processing jpg it has difficulty processing the dark images. During compression of the image black areas are coded as 0 and you will see black spots wtih no color at all. I will post up 2 images processed exactly the same way but one using jpg files the other using tif.
