Ok this is my first entry into tonemapped imagery. It's just a re mapped version of one of my personal favourite captures, done in Photomatix deep compression and saved as a 16bit TIFF.

I recently saw a bunch of tonemapped images of barnfind cars and really liked the results.

I've got to be honest, I'm not sure where I stand on tonemapping and HDR images, do they add to a capture or are they just a post process messing with histograms and not how the image was meant to be seen? Some might say go and re take the shot using different parameters or camera settings and achieve what you're after that way and I would say I'd have to agree.

Tone mapping and compressions in this image done in Photomatix 4.0

Next I'm going to try some 3xRAW shots and HDR processing, just because I've got to get it out of my system. I'd be really interested to hear others views on this.

Went for a look round the old place and thought this shot kind of captured it's spirit.
