First try at HDR

Bsimon

Looking for your insight on what could have been done better.

By the way, for those of you in the market for the software, I was able to get Photomatix pro for 39.60 by entering my student email ending in .edu

I like this, but I think a few things could help add some drama to the HDR. Mainly, a more dramatic (add clouds/different light in a reshoot) sky to give some depth to the layering of different exposures. This would also add some reflections to the the roof that could prove interesting once your HDR work was complete.

The only other suggestion I have would be to crop out the shadow from the missing lightpole coming from the right. Not only would this delete a distraction from your subject, it would do some to get your main subject out of the center of the image.

Nice work overall, keep it up. thumb

Thanks for your input. Adjusting now in LR.

Here is another from today.

Also, it would be helpful if you could post a bit smaller images for easier viewing.

And finally, here is the same scene from after sunset. Around 6pm or so.
