Was over in San Francisco for business two weeks ago, took the opportunity to take a photo of the bridge in all its glory. I'm sure this shot has been taken endless times but what the heck, it's one hell of a view! Bracketed photo with HDRsofts 32 bit plugin for lightroom and shot with the spectacular zeiss 21mm distagon
As always you learn something from every shoot, this time it's to make sure you wear comfortable shoes before heading out on a day long walk around tour of the city, must of got 5 blisters the next day but it was defo worth it ^^

Friday night, the fog was thick. So Saturday morning I woke up early to try to capture the fog at the Japanese Garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden. If you haven't gotten out to the garden yet this year, you may want to soon. Many of the trees and flowers are already blooming. I don't know how they will be affected by the colder weather coming up, but if you don't go soon, you may miss out on spring.
Black and White HDR
How do you process your black and white HDR's? I think that Photomatix and HDR Efex Pro do a nice job of producing a good HDR image. But I still prefer to use Photomatix to get a color HDR image and then process that through Nik's Silver Efex Pro. I find that Photomatix does a great job of bringing out all of the textures and tones in the scene. But I really like the way you can Silver Efex to make changes based on the colors in the scene or just to apply some presets. How do you process black and white HDR's?
Still going through my archives, thought I'd share this one after I reprocessed it (this one is DRI, orig. was HDR) cropped it hard and flipped it... I think it's kinda cool
DRI is Dynamic Range Increase also called Exposure Blending or Exposure Fusion

Superbe citadelle dont les fondations plongent dans la mer, le château de Collioure fut construit sur les restes de constructions romaines, transformées par la suite à l'époque wisigothique et citées pour la première fois en 673.
Mais c'est à l'initiative des rois de Majorque, que le château tel que nous le connaissons aujourd'hui fut bâti. Il était destiné à servir de résidence d'été à la cour royale. L'édification du bâtiment s'est faite en même temps que le Palais des rois de Majorque, à Perpignan, entre 1242 et 1280.
Pièce maîtresse du dispositif défensif, il fut élevé sur un site de construction romaine. Essentiellement aménagé par les Comtes du Roussillon et les Rois d’Aragon entre 1276 et 1344, il accueillera la cour des Rois de Majorque. La forteresse sera ensuite occupée par les Espagnols jusqu’en 1642, date où elle retombera aux mains des français. Vauban fera alors élever l’enceinte extérieure et raser le glacis ( actuel parking ). En 1922, le château classé monument historique sera totalement rénové et restera occupé par l’armée française jusqu’en 1945. En 1951, il sera vendu au Conseil Général des Pyrénées Orientales

Superb citadel whose foundations lie in the sea, the castle of Collioure was built on the remains of Roman buildings, transformed subsequently to the Visigothic period and cited for the first time in 673.
But it is the initiative of the kings of Majorca, the castle as we know it today was built. It was intended as a summer residence for the royal court. The construction of the building was made at the same time as the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, Perpignan, between 1242 and 1280.
Cornerstone of the defensive, he was raised a Roman construction site. Essentially built by the Counts of Roussillon and the kings of Aragon between 1276 and 1344, it hosted the court of the Kings of Majorca. The fortress was later occupied by the Spaniards until 1642, when she will fall into the hands of the French. Vauban will then raise the outer wall and shave the glaze (current car). In 1922, the historic national monument will be completely renovated and will be occupied by the French army until 1945. In 1951, it will be sold to the General Council of Pyrénées Orientales

Thanks so much everyone for your ideas, information and feedback. It's been a very interesting and informative discussion, and I've learned a lot. You all are the best :)
I received some constructive feedback a while ago, noting that some of my photos are over saturated, and yes I stand guilty as charged :) I love saturation, but I tried to take it easy a bit with this photo, taking his advice. Probably still too saturated, but this is an improvement for me :) You can see the original here .

The Story
As part of a three week Road Trip to the USA last summer our journey took us to California, Arizona and Nevada.
After a visit to the Grand Canyon the next stop on 10 August, was Las Vegas, having never been there before we weren't really sure what to expect, but nothing could have prepared us for what was to follow.
From the sadness of people trying to sell the services of "Girls" on every corner, to the amazing magic fountains of the Bellagio it was a photographers dream.
This photo was taken outside the Paris hotel complete with half size Eiffel Tower and Arc De Triumph.
The Shot
5 exposure shot (-2,-1,0,+1,+2) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens on a tripod
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The sky was darkened and the noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame and title added.
The Music
Elvis Presley - Viva Las Vegas

I have been shooting in RAW format the last couple of months... and have been experimenting with crafting a blended image from different exposure settings taken from a single file.
My friend Terry Flick (TexFlix) taught me this technique and also encouraged me to try the RAW (instead of jpeg) format. He felt that RAW gives the photographer more flexibility when the shot leaves the camera - and I now agree.
This shot, taken south of Dallas a couple of months ago, is the result of that blending. I opened the original file in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and then saved different exposures such as (+1, -1, +2,-2, etc) and blended those resulting images together with Photomatix software. I really feel it allows the nuances of light and color to come to the surface.
For example, in this image the single frame photo had the hills in the upper left corner too dark.... and the shades of green in the pasture and in the tree line did not have any variance. By experimentation, I was able to get the variations back into the image that were there in real life....

Alright, just like others on Flickr, I’ve been asked how I get my HDR image to pop the way they do. Well, while in Baltimore I used my handy Flip Video to show you how simple my setup is.
Here is the link to me in Baltimore freezing my butt off, showing off the simple technique of shooting a rental car with 9 exposures. (don't mind the bags under my eyes... that's jetlag and aging for ya)
Okay, I shoot 9 exp because... well, my D200 can do it. It's digital and free. Now I typically take one shot. A test shot, with my metering on the largest matrix mode there is, to get an overall average of the scene's exposure. Plus with going further + and -, you cover more of the tonal range, so hopefully that contributes to a better overall final image.
But before I do that, I still need to find a shot that is interested and well composed on it’s own. Okay, got one? That was easy.
I use a tripod and remote trigger on Ch (high speed shutter) to snap all the shots at once. But take a single shot first to make sure the MAIN SUBJECT looks properly exposed.
If the mid-range looks to be exposed properly, then I'll know that it's what I want. Now I shoot 9 exp at 1stop intervals. Thus, if my scene normally would be shot at 1/60th, that means I'll be capturing the tonal range from +/- 4stops. There is a better chance that I'll get exposures of the darkest areas and brightest areas that way. So:
1/60, 1/1250, 1/640, 1/320, 1/160, 1/40, 1/20, 1/10, 1/5
So right there that covers more range and thus get more tonal coverage.
But that's only the tip of the ice cream. Now is time to get the images on the computer and process them.
Here is a quick 10 minute video on how I process the images with Photomatix and then Photoshop CS3
So in Photomatix, I roughly use these settings:
Strength: 100
Saturation: 100
Light Smoothing: (either the 4th or 5th button) this has a dramatic effect on your overall image
Luminosity: Usually 10. Less = more halo affect on horizon, but does work better with the 4th Light Smoothing button.
Play around with these the most, as they will influence your image the most.
Tone:
white: 100
black: 100
Gamma: between 1.40 and 1.15
Color:
Temperature: between -2 and 4
Saturation Highlights: 10
Saturation Shadows: 10
Micro:
Micro-contrast: 10 (love me a good contrast)
Micro-smoothing: 5-30 (30 being smooth, 5 being pretty dramatic, but also lots of noise in the sky)
S/H:
Highlight Smoothing: 0
Shadow Smoothing: 0
Shadow Clipping: 0 unless I want some areas dark
Process. Save.
Once I get my photo into CS3, I take my time to dodge/burn the photo so all those little weird dark areas that Photomatix creates are all evened out. Once it's all even... ready for this, I:
Create a dupe layer
change it to: SCREEN (which makes it really bright)
adjust it to about.. I dunno, 30% or so until it looks properly exposed
Then flatten
Then use DODGE/BURN to even out the exposure and any areas that appear too dark/light
Create another dupe layer
change it to: SOFT or HARD light to exaggerate the colors a bit
adjust it appropriately.
Flatten
Once I do that, I might use the SPONGE tool to either saturate or desaturate the colors so it's even on the photo.
Now for the sky, if I want crazy clouds or colors, I use a magic wand or something to select the sky and thencreate another layer.
open up OPTIKVERVE'S VIRTUAL PHOTOGRAPHER and go through some of the presets in there. My personal favorites are:
Photocopy
Radiant
Landscape
Etc. Then I apply it, and adjust my layer, between 20 and 80%, depending on how much it changes the image
LARGE VERSION for educational purposes only.
That's about it really. There might be other things I do, but I always dodge/burn to even out the shadows and highlights. While the colors are vivid, I don't like things looking too crazy... usually.
A slightly different version of a similar image that I uploaded a year ago this week.....
This is a high dynamic range image comprised of three exposures (one over exposed, one underexposed and one correctly exposed) that were blended together with Photomatix software.
If you are interested in trying the technique, you can download a free trial copy of the software at www.hdrsoft.com
In certain situations, it creates a slightly surreal image that I think straddles the boundaries between art and photography.

Botany Bay on Edisto Island is one of my favorite places to shoot. I just got back from a week on Edisto and spent 3 mornings shooting dawn at Botany Bay. There will be more images coming. ;-)
This was taken yesterday at a local wetlands. This is the first landscape photograph that I have uploaded for the public to see. I have actually only taken a handful of landscape photographs but that is about to change. Please let me know what you might like or dislike about this photograph. I appreciate any comments or advice. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. Take care!

EDIT:
I am not trying to come across as high and mighty or that I am some kind of elite photographer. I’m not. I have been practicing photography less than a year and have everything to learn. But I would like to politely ask those to refrain from posting images, or links to their photos on my photostream. I don’t mind if you are using an image of yours as a reference as a way to teach me how to do something. But please do not post links or images hoping to get more views on your photostream. Others might disagree with me but I personally think it’s disrespectful. I had to delete a few comments that were directing others to their page by way of a link.

Taken this morning on my way to work. Southern NH is just starting to see widespread color. The clouds make for an interesting image. 3 bracketed images combined in Photomatix and further edited in Photoshop.
This is the view from Mount Amos overlooking Wineglass Bay, in Tasmania Australia. It's about a 45 minute hike up to the lookout which had to be done with a torch as it was pretty dark. This storm coming in from the Tasman Sea ended up bringing snow storms to the Midlands, which I almost got trapped in later that afternoon. Fantastic View though and well worth the effort.

Ach ja, das Wetter und die Technik. Die zarten Schönwetterwolken hatten sich schon verzogen. Der Bildkontrast an dieser Stelle, mit dem Irix 11mm, ist zum Durchdrehen. Heute hatte ich endlich mal daran gedacht, die Gel-Filter auszupacken. Das ist eine fummelige Angelegenheit. Der ND16 / 4 Stopps Filter bringt bei Tageslicht leider nicht viel.
Am Ende gab es eine Belichtungsreihe aus 7 Aufnahmen, die mit Photomatix zu einem HDR-Foto zusammengerechnet wurden. Damit es schlimm aussieht, wurde das `Creative' Preset gewählt, und in DxO FilmPack wurde noch das `Old Postcard' Preset gewählt.
Fertig ist das Frust-Werk.
