I'm not a fan of the Photoshop Lens Flare. That needs a little work.

Yea, I was doing that late night thing I always do where I overprocess it, as I've now just done with the below picture. Thank god I save the image before I flatten it :)

Now it's in use with this picture without the lens flare, mercifully.

I need tips on making the hay bale look more natural [perspective wise, and blending with the grass, and shadows], and anything about changing the overall tone of the image.

I think the hay bale will look out of place in a green field however you put it. How many images are you merging there?

I just looked at my photo archive (have the last 7 years images backed up on like three hard drives - lesson learned after losing about 300 images from 2002/2003 a couple years back) and it turns out that in almost every year September and October are the months when I take close to zero photos (not counting the copious amounts I take during work obviously).

So with that in mind and after a poor Sept 09 I'm endeavoring to build up my October 09 folder. This weeks theme (or attempt at a theme) is HDR.

I'm no expert at HDR so it's all learning and some images might not be a standard some are up to but I'm trying lol.

Any comments or tips on HDR would be appreciated.

Cheers

I like those :). Did you use photoshop, photomatix or something else? Also are those from single RAW?

Photomatix for the tone mapping. I can't get a good result through photoshop for some reason.

And the images area jpgs (3-5) for each tonemapped image. I would normally try to use RAW but was using the my work camera - Fuji S5Pro and we're provided only with a maximum of (very slow) 512mb CF cards as we have to burn to cd when complete at a job. So I used high quality jpg so that I wouldn't run out of sapce before I finished taking the pics (only had one card to hand)

My friend's 2nd gen iPod Touch. The picture was taken with a Canon EOS 40D + 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens.

Was down the park today with the wee man and took a few shots including these two:

though I think this is a little OE

4000265359_79e8a7cd77.jpg

and this one showcasing the intellect and tolerance of our local skaters. Although to be fair this will have been carried out by the moronic minority - I'm fairly certain (not 100% mind you) that the majority of these ragamuffins do actually attend some sort of educational establishment. Then again "Grafiti"!

And a re-up. This is one of the images I used for a previous HDR attempt. I quite like the disc of the sun peeking through the trees even though the image is horrendously underexposed for a single image:

I just thought I needed something in the foreground to give weight to the image. The funny thing is, all 3 images were taken at the exact same location. The only difference is the direction the camera was pointed in. I need to get a different hay bale at the very least, that one was taken from my completed harvest field 1. For some retarted reason I decided to delete the unprocessed hay bale pictures I took that day. I never delete my photos, so I have no idea what was going through my head.

      Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

      Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
