1933 Buick

This is a 3 shot hdr ,with Oil paint filter in CS6 . my first true HDR...(HDR pro in CS6 )

[Dennis Bishop]

Very nice. I like the colors, the composition, and the oil paint texture. The contrast between the smooth car body and the texture is wonderful. Good perspective on the Buick, too. I sorta wish there was a bit more canvas on the left, but it's not a big deal, at all. I do wish, though, that the bumper didn't line up with the curb.

HDR can become addictive. It fills up memory cards, but nearly all my images now start as HDRs. I hope to see more of yours.

Wondeful subject and processing, Clyde. Love that shine!

[Clyde Hopper]

Thank you Dennis and Steve ! Dennis I do believe HDR will become a main line for my photography . I am going to try an idea asap , that will include a wild life subject ...there are so many possibility's !

Wildlife can be a challenge, of course, if they don't stand still. However, one can expose for the wildlife and do an HDR on the background when they leave.

I am thinking exactly that ,but I think I will do the HDR 3 shots then bring the properly exposed photo back in as a separate layer and mask off all but the wanted parts of the main subject . ? I think it will be deferent anyway .?

Yep, that's what I had in mind. On more than occasion when processing HDR images, I've used a masked layer of one of the original exposures to replace part of the tone-mapped version. I use Photomatix rather than Photoshop to do the tone mapping. I can't remember which, but it's either Adobe Camera Raw or Photomatix that re-sizes the image a bit. Consequently, I have to be careful when bringing in part of one of the bracketed images. I don't know if that'll be an issue for you, or not.

Clyde, I love this image. It's a great combination of HDR and Oil Paint. I hope we see much more of these

Very nice, Clyde. Lovely effect of oil paint along with HDR.
