wonderful shaun – you still not doing any HDR work?
Shaun Whiteman replied
No mate, I just play around with levels in CS4 to get a balanced shot, HDR annoys me because of colour shifts which make the colours look like a comic book!! There is a time and a place for HDR but I like to limit it’s use….sermon over thanks for the comment!! ;)
Martina Fagan
lovely job nice shot:)
Shaun Whiteman replied
Thank Tina, it is a wonderful location!!
Smudger
my feelings exactly shaun – there is a time and place for it but certainly not on every shot as I was doing previously – so I now have the painless task of re processing all my previous shots which should keep me going until 2014

So beautiful old bridge and summer scene! I am with you same opinion HDR from the pictures, suits to some to the picture but most of no.
Shaun Whiteman replied
Thank you so much Veikko, I try to make my photos look like I what saw when taking the shot, HDR done badly looks unreal and in my opinion ugly!
