Hey this looks cool….HDR is really interesting software..
Greg Roberts
Thanks Molly! Think i’ll be out again tomorrow to try and find a decent shot to practice some more, loved the colours on these Huts, its a pity it was so busy, as there is loads of these huts in a row! – so i had to be quick!
Greg Roberts
Forgot to mention, i’ve learnt how to do this soley by reading comments on other peoples photo’s so far! :)
Helen Corr

Greg Roberts replied
Good idea, i have added it to an HDR Group – there really is some spectacular work on here!

Good Photo. Keep going, I’ve found HDR can bring new dimensions to an image or more realism. I use a tripod, 2 EV spacings, (-2, 0, +2) 100 ISO and time with the detail enhancer.
Greg Roberts replied
Ahhh, looks like i read correctly as thats what i used yesterday! – i am intruiged between 2 methods though..;
1) Take a single RAW shot, change the exposure on the pc?
2) Do what i did and keep clicking to make sure i have enough photo’s of different exposure?
would love to hear anyone’s opinion on the the two?
Greg Roberts
woah, this was on 40 views last night, and is suddenly saying 1990 views in 12 hours – yet no new favorites or comments? Red bubble bug?

Nice job at first attempt….....love the look on these colorful buildings!!
Greg Roberts replied
Thanks Dyle for the nice comment :) – Not sure if beachhuts count as buildings? (As they are known for letting a lot of water in!) – more of a shed! hehe :)

I love what you have done with this image it is excellent, nice colour selection indeed.

Thanks Marilyn! – the huts really are very bright on their own, i atually darkened them slightly to get the mood but then re-saturated them :)
