Very nice (Y) Was there any post-processing involved?

Sure was. It is a 9 shot HDR from -4 to +4 on the EV scale. Merged in Photomatix and then had to make some serious adjustments because of the color/white balance. I had to sacrifice some of the details in the clouds on the right hand side, but I went from the first image to the following image:

I know that I adjusted the curves, levels, color saturation for the different channels, brightness, contrast, and reduced noise with noise ninja. It was probably around 20 minutes worth of post until I felt satisfied. Oh, I also cleared out dust specs with a mix of the clone and healing tools.

Wow :| I didn't even think that that was an HDR. Usually the HDRs that I see look like crap, but yours looks really good! I've tried HDR a couple times, but they always come out looking stupid :laugh:

That's not HDR you're seeing, it's tone-mapping which looks horrendous in my opinion... this is HDR :D

I don't just tone-map a single shot and turn down the light smoothing to make it look horrible. I actually put time and effort into what I do and am really picky about what I post. I have a lot more duds than I would like to admit, but not everything is 100% usable. That is, unless I want to post CRAP.

That's not HDR you're seeing, it's tone-mapping which looks horrendous in my opinion... this is HDR :D

What is? I don't see any example posted. Tone-mapping is essential for the technique and I doubt that anyone has a display that supports 32 bit radiance files to justify displaying a 30+MB file to show the HDR in real time... I don't feel like dumping hundreds into GND filters and a holder right now so I make do with what I have.

Have you posted a picture from that spot on here before? It looks really familiar.

I have posted a picture taken at the same location before. It's a great place to capture the city scape and there's usually a very nice view of some good looking women running by in skimpy work-out clothes. :D

I too love PEI, especially since I live there. Great pics sin-ergy!

Yesterday we had a Sea King helicopter circling our house and landed in a field nearby, our neighbor managed to get some pictures of it, so I'll see if I can get them from her and I'll put them up here.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      I hate Slack, but Teams is much worse - maybe they've already optimized it, but it was a huge slog the last time I've checked about half a year ago. I miss my Skype.

      Just ended up switching to Ubuntu. Not sure why I waited.
