This image was the result of playing around some more with the HDR tutorial I mentioned in the last post. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
*Edit: I have been informed that this isn’t a true HDR image. Even so, I like the way it turned out, and think the idea of blending exposures offers an interesting avenue for creativity*

love the colours
Thank you, and thanks for stopping by!
Nice colours and detail!
Thank you Meanderer!
Excellent colors shot!
Thank you Theys Roland!
I’ll be quick to point out this isn’t true HDR. true hdr combines three images… or more into a 32bit image, which can’t be rendered properly on a display, it is then tone mapped into a hdr image which has all the detail you would expect. Non the less this photo is interesting, but I feel it lacks a lot of contrast.
I did use three images to create this image. Even if it isn’t “true” HDR, I like the result. Thanks for having a look.
The difference is the formation of a 32bit image is the difference, and then the tone-mapping. Here you are really just using exposure blending.
Another beautiful one Eden. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Adam

a very apt application of when to use HDR(or exposure blending )… good work !!
just curious have u ever tried multi-focus blending ? another interesting technique especially for macro subjects with limited depth of field …
Hello Abu, thanks for stopping by! I never have tried multi-focus blending. I have never even heard of it before (still new to this). Thanks for the comment!
