    What a way to start my day! A wonderful photo Pauline and you’ve done an excellent job with the HDR. It’s all too easy to overdo that but you’ve nailed it first time! My memories of Poole Harbour are that is always used to be the place where the rich and famous kept their boats. I shall always remember seeing Billy Cotton’s massive boat – called Wakey Wakey (that was his catch phrase) I also once saw Max Bygraves’ boat moored there. Wonderful stuff and can we now expect to see this new you more often – please??? Peter

  • naturelover replied

    Hi Peter- thankyou so much for that smashing comment- really pleased I could bring back such happy memories for you- I will do more if the picture calls for it- hope you are all well- love Pauline x

    A simply beautiful image and your first go at HDR is brillant. Im just trying it out to it can be fun but nerve racking at the same time. I am just using 1 image to do HDr with. What about you?

  • naturelover replied

    Hi Karen- thankyou so much- never done HDR before- but thought these shots of boats etc were ideal so practiced on the Lobster Pots- liked it and got a bit more daring with the boats- so yes, I did concentrate on one at a time!!Less is more I find-can overdo it xx

  • naturelover
  • Tim O'Neil

    Tim O'Neil

    Love this shot – I have tried HDR briefly, but can’t get results like this.
    I must do some ‘googling’ for help.

  • naturelover replied

    Hi Tim thanks for the visit- and the lovely comment- I am useless at new things- but got the free download and tried it on the Fishing Baskets first, then a bit more daring on this picture- gently does it lol!!!

  • Karen  Betts

    Karen Betts

    This would fit in the HDR group i put a couple in and they seem to be accepted even if i do use 1 image to create them. Only stipulation is you have to put what programme or process you used to create them. Alos good place to ask for help and ideas and see other works done. Karen : )

  • naturelover replied

    Thankyou for that Karen- I will see what they want me to put- haven’t a clue lol!! will do another and write it all down so I can put to the side of the shot!! feels like homework again!! haha!

  • Steve  Buffington

    Steve Buffington

    Excellent. I think HDR works well on this one. Really brings out the water contrast to the boats. Just out of curiousity, why don’t you like HDR so much? And have a nice Mother’s Day.

  • naturelover replied

    Thanks so much Steve- I am quite happy with this one but many I see are too loud and garish- OTT- look unnatural- but I am happy you like this-appreciate your comment- Had a lovely day thankyou- but our Mothers Day is in March LOL!!! so did it all for myself today haha!!!

  • Steve  Buffington

    Steve Buffington

    Agree with you on the HDRs sometimes being tooooo much. But they can be made to look pretty natural like this one you did. And great to hear you had great Mother’s Day. Hell, why not twice?!
