The Beauty Inside ...
So, a fun week for all involved with The Sunday Challenge, well at least for some and I include myself in that category.
The theme this week was HDR (High Dynamic Range) Imagery. It's a technique that really does seem to attract quite diverse opinions as I've found out over this last week as I've posted various attempts at creating an HDR image.
As it happens I've always liked HDR, at least for certain subjects and when it has been applied in a controlled and sympathetic fashion. However, it wasn't something I'd ever attempted myself until this week so as I said earlier it has been a fun week.
So much so that after playing around with the trial version of Photomatix I ended up taking the plunge and buying the software outright. If nothing else it means that I can continue to experiment with the medium without having the Photomatix watermark applied to my final creations.
This particular shot that I've ended up using as my main submission to TSC is actually taken inside All Saints Church in Northallerton. In the past I've taken several shots of the exterior, but this was the first time I'd ventured inside and I have to say I was most impressed by what I found. Not quite York Minster perhaps, but very attractive all the same.
I just hope that my HDR take on this subject helps convey at least some of the beauty and splendour of this grand old church.
By the way, this was the result of combining three RAW files: one at normal exposure, one at -1.5, and one at +1.5. You can a representation of the three base files in the Notes.

autofantasia club has replied to Amazingstokerautofantasia club has replied to Indycaver (Norm) clubautofantasia club has replied to JanAs for buying the software, I think you misunderstood me. I was experimenting with the free trial version and would have happily used that for the challenge. However, I found the software to my liking and have bought it for future use as I can see me doing a lot more HDR work! :)
But seriously, it's just gorgeous and I can see the difference. This, to me, is one of the nicest ways to use HDR, very lightly.
autofantasia club has replied to Karen's Place clubCongrats on Explore.
autofantasia club has replied to Jaap van 't Veen clubI use Photomix myself and although my tatty old PC struggles with it times (slow and lacking memory) it does the job. I would agree that HDR has a mixed reputation and, in my humble opinion,should be used with care so as not to produce a "Cartoon" effect on the image. HDR is not for all, but it can help produce an image closer to that seen by the eye. Obviously some take the HDR effect to the extreme, producing an image I personally do not like. As with all photography, opinion is subjective and I very much believe in "each to his own".
All the best, Doug
