Alf Caruana

wow Astrid this is fantastic
Astrid Pardew replied

Thank you Alf. I’m glad you like it. Your own HDR photography is awesome! I still have loads to learn but it’s a fun process..
Alf Caruana

I don’t actually use HDR never have, but I’ve seen lots of images using this technique and most are too over done. Your’s however is just the right combination. I wouldn’t change anything from what you’re doing.
Astrid Pardew replied

Oh Alf you must use a treatment which produces similar results then? Some of your images have that look. One example is your picture ‘A Safe Harbour’. I could have bet my last fiver that it was HDR from a single exposure. I told you I have much to learn! :)

Astrid Pardew replied

Hey Steve :) Thank you. HDR is fun. Can be a little frustrating..but worthwhile as long as it’s not overdone imo. I’m still on a learning curve with this… Go on and give it a try some time!

Glen Allen

great shot
Astrid Pardew replied

Thank you Glen. I appreciate your comments.
Anthony Vella

Exceptional work Astrid….Good HDR processing. I know this chapel only too well. I guess you were lucky to find an evening without the usual people walking around and no car parked in the vicinity.
Astrid Pardew replied

Thank you Anthony. It wasn’t a Sunday..that would partially explain it .. That and the fact that there is now a detention centre very close to it. People seem to shy away now..
