This is the same problem I had the first time I tried to post. ???? Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Andy has a page full of links that describe how to do everything here on dgrin



The 6th link down is how to post photos here on dgrin.

The short version is your code is wrong in your post.

An image link should look like this

[im*g]http://pathfinder.smugmug.com/Travel/Alaska-with-Marc-et-al-August/ship-in-the-fog-1000279/1020907393_RqRVq-M.jpg[/im*g] - Only omitting the asterisks in img, and inserting your own picture link complete as in mine above

Now thats really weird. Number 2 is all messed up. Somehow. the pic got split in have and the left and right half have been switched.

You seem to have it now, I see three images, a B&W grain bin, a color lake with fountain, and a colored tire swing.

Can you link to larger images,perhaps? Approximately 800 pixels long? My image above is a medium sized image.

I think the first shot works the best of the three but the HDR here has a lot of halos. I've been doing more HDR in the past 6 months and have found (and been told) that the more brackets the better quality HDR with less halos. I now routinely shoot 6 brackets (-3 or -2 to +2 or +3 by 1EV steps). Also, in Photomatix, you want to use the slider for light blending and limit yourself to a +/- 2 range to keep things from getting too crazy.
Not sure what is going on in two - looks like two images seamed together
Third would be stronger if shot much closer to single out the tire and tree.
Hope that helps

Took me a second to see what WAS wrong....but it makes for an interesting pic....

There are two approaches to HDR. One is the classic HDR appearance with the halos as in the above images, and the other is a shot that is not immediately recognized as HDR, until one studies it carefully, and realizes that the exposure range would be impossible to capture with a single shot.

While there are strong advocates for each school of thought, I have my feet firmly in both of them. I like living not in the either/or, but "lets try both" schools of photography.

Many "classic: HDrs shots ( with holes ) are really tone mapped single images, rather than actual HDR images.

My boat photo was not HDR of course, but a point and shoot DMC-ZS7 in flat light in Alaska.

Good way to be....
Why have cake unless you can eat it too, right?!

Absolutely!

Yeah I've seen the halos. I kinda like a little halo sometimes. I have noticed though that the halos don't show up in print like they do on screen. Anyway Thanx for the input Its always helpful.
