Again, 2 more masterpieces for the "collection"

When you meter your shots in these situations, which metering mode do you use? Evaluative, Center-Weighted or Spot?

I use Center-Weighted metering
but if you shooting in manual mode, Just keep your eyes to the Blinkies
you always need the 1st shot without any Blinkies
Then you do your -2.0+2
I have find 5 or 7 shots works a litle better
After all ,don't forget we shooting digital ,we can always delete them
but we cant go back in time

they just seem a bit too "tone burned" for my liking.

just my .02, but i have noticed that the tone mapping on your projects tends to go to the extreme.

i'd be interested to see what might happen if you brought it down a notch and worked within the parameters that were meant to be more natural looking, just to see what might happen.

just a thought.

like i said. my 02. its a preference thing. over tonemapping makes things look very cartoony to me.

not meant to be discouraging. all effort and tastes ultimately appreciated as being another perspective as valid as any other.

Thanks for your nice comment
My preference is to make the picture more cartoony that's why i make them look this way
and don't worry you don't discouraging me , I have find lot of people and my wife they don't like this look

But thanks for your honest comment

august · 02-07-2008

Ummm, pardon my ignorance, but what are "Blinkies"

JDArt · 02-08-2008

I like them! Your HDR photos push the border of being too other-worldly, but I think you come down on the right side.

august · 02-08-2008

i wonder if we might also benefit from a tone mapping forum...it is oft lumped in with HDR but they are not mutually exclusive.

Jason Hermann · 02-08-2008

I think they look awesome as always

Certainly pushing the envelope for real, but the end result is great IMO. I think I have seen #2 before in another post, but I could be wrong.

Best,
Jay

Blinkies in you Camera you have a setting (Highlight alert)were if you have an overexposed image the highlights it will blink
That mean this arias they don't have any information on them (overexposed)
I hope i explain it OK

Man!!! some times the very easy words, it is very hard for me to explain

Maybe is because I'm Greek

august · 02-08-2008

there is an old saying which goes "it's all greek to me." which is to say that it is totally incomprehensible.

not sure how that applies...but i thought you might appreciate the reversal.

fatsheep · 02-08-2008

These remind me of a video game with really good graphics. They don't look don't look realistic but I think you did a good job. They have a fantasy feel to them if you know what I mean.

You said you prefer taking 5 to 7 shots for an HDR? Do you have a bracketing mode that allows you to do that? On my point and shoot the best I can do is 3 shots: -1 EV, 0 EV, +1 EV.

Yes, I would as well. I was curious if I could achieve a similar effect to this in GIMP...
