Boifido Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 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.

How many images are you merging there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 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 Malc I like those :). Did you use photoshop, photomatix or something else? Also are those from single RAW?

11222111 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 11, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2009 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.

11222111 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 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 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: Cheers Malc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boifido Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 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? 3 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.
