    I am afraid I again think HDR has not worked here, maybe subtley it would have worked for me. The processes has increased exposure in the shadows to such a degree it is very noisey in those areas. The composition is as always a winnter though. I would be interested to see a non HDR version?

  • Kimberly Palmer replied

    you know with photomatix, I work on it until I see what I like. Yes, there is grain, I know. But for me, it adds to the appearance.

    I will upload a non HDR version now.

  • Christopher Davies

    Christopher Da...

    I have a few photographer friends that use Photomatrix and have expressed the same feelings as mine, that it has a very limited control. Have you ever considered exposure blending kim?

  • Kimberly Palmer replied

    I have done that Chris, but it’s just a pain in the butt…. I don’t always have a tripod with me either. I must prefer how I’m doing it, it’s fun for me. I think the control for me works just fine. Perhaps I will try it again on this shot, but use the microsmoothing and take out some of that noise. ... and see how it goes. =-)

  • Christopher Davies

    Christopher Da...

    Okay, if you are enjoying it then just ignore me :) One thing though, you dont actually need to take more than one photograph to do exposure blending. Its obviously much better if you can, for quality reasons. Just use one file, open it twice in PS and set different exposures, you can do as many files like this, then use layers and the eraser tool to reveal different parts of the photo. You are obviously shooting in RAW right??

  • Kimberly Palmer replied

    Okay, that is what I do…. I change exposures in photoshop.
    Nope, not RAW.. JPEG. I tried RAW for awhile, but it took up to much space on the flashcard, AND took forever to load to the computer, plus editing was crazy too. I prefer JPEG.
    I did this image (the hdr version) with different exposures in PS… what you are saying perhaps is, not to use Photomatix?
