I think Delhi is as far north as we will make it, in Jodhpur now and heading south, through Mumbai and then down to Kerala. I think that's all we'll have time for, then on to the next country. Loving India so far though.

And so I don't completely derail the thread, here's another HDR marble shot

Cool. I asked that because I was wondering if you are going here as well...



Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab.

 

yeah, this happens. its just something you have to watch out for. I recommend fixing this kind of thing in PP, after generating the HDR. What I mean is, if you've arrived at the look you want and are happy with it, except you have spots like this, fix it in PP.

 

 

What kind of PP techniques could you use with PS to correct this?
There's still more things I don't know how to do with PS than I do. Heh.


CS3 if it makes a difference.

 

cloning / smoothing tools. you can also use the heal tools for things like this. but it really depends on the circumstance. I use CS3 too. thinking some more, since the areas in your photo are white, you could even just paint white in there. and then smooth it out.

there's likely videos out there about doing this, see if you can find any. if not, I would be happy to do one.

 

Thanks!

 

 

^ Awesome shot.

 

that is a nice pic

 

 

The castle in Central Park ?? nice, but wished you would have framed to the left more.

 

love it when there are clouds (and NOT raining)

another off the balcony

 

I think it would look better if it were brighter. but nice details and balance, otherwise.

 

 

 

it does look better. it has an 'artsy' type of feel.

 

+1, i like it with a brighter exposure

 

more HDR from India...

nice...love the 2nd one

 

cool stuff. locations?

 

All my photos are geotagged if you want to exact location on Flickr , but it's in the state of Kerala outside the city of Munnar in south west India.

We flew from Mumbai to Kochi and then a car drove us about 2.5 hours to Munnar where we are staying. The whole area of Munnar is amazing. The scenery is breathtaking. That shot was on a hike through some tea plantations. I think Kerala is a MUST see if you are visiting India, it is so peaceful and beautiful.

 

The train was at the bahnhoff (train station) in Munich and the beach is Baldwin Beach on Maui.

 

3 Image stacked then process with NIC HDR Efex on CS5

 

badass perspective.

 

I download the trial of HDR Efex. Pretty cool program. There a TON of tweaks you can do. I haven't really used photomatix, so I can't really compare them, but I am considering purchasing this.

Anybody used both that can comment on which they prefer?

Wow, there are some amazing shots on here. Makes me want to get my Rebel XT out and start taking pictures of uninteresting things around the house. Everything looks better!
