That 3rd one is great, just magical... but that fourth is sharp and the color just leaps out of the screen.

For the black and whites, rather than doing a desaturate try to do the gradient mapping with the black to white... it will give you a starker contrast that sometimes gives greater detail, especially with images that are closer to 2D.

Also, consider boosting/cutting the Luminance values on any of the RGB channels for more contrast. Or, you can copy one or two channel's data, put that on a layer above, change its blending mode to give more contrast, using layer masks to isolate regions.

A little HDR from today at the zoo... great autumn colors and this cool rail... needs a bit of work but I like the rail as a barrier from childhood, just wish I had brought a tripod and some longer lenses.

Great shot Jeremy (howve u been, by the way?) I've been wanting to do some HDR stuff....never really took the time to look into it. Is i a difficult process?

It is a pretty easy process as long as you have a camera that has auto braketting. If you need to manually adjust the exposure for every shot then it is slightly more of a pain in the ass, but ultimately, it is very easy and a great way to get either a unique look or a massive lattitude of dynamic range in an image.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! A buddy of mine showed up for turkey today with his latest addition to the family... so naturally I grabbed the Nikon and snapped a couple shots for him. Nothing fancy, just a few snapshots that make me smile, so I thought I'd post 'em here to give you guys a smile also.

Hiya all.

We recently had a new addition to the family. I shot these as SOON as my wife got home from Hospital. Not the best of the best, but he does have my eyes. Shot on a D70 with generic glass, and in one hell hurry.
