    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?

    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 :)
