Eisboch,
Thanks for the comment, and I too disagree with Harry about a photograph
should be limited to "You are there" or "Postcard" record of a scenic
view. If I limited myself to this kind of photography, I would get
bored very quickly. The best photos I have seen have been manipulated
in some fashion, either by perspective, a very unique angle, shutter
speed (to enrich the colors or blur all or part of the photo, using the
aperture to change the depth of field, deliberately blurring part or all
of the scene (by moving the camera or zooming the lens while using a slow
shutter speed, HDR or other post processing techniques. That was the
reason I found SWS comments so interesting and helpful. He didn't
disagree with my concept, but my execution of the concept. Since I am
really a novice at all of this, I am very interested in ideas that will
help me move along in my skills. I do have a problem with over sharping
images, and that was my first attempt at using Photomatrix to develop an
HDR photo. I play on redoing this photo using SWS suggestions. I
actually processed this HDR from one photo shot in RAW, and adjusted the
exposure and brightness in post processing, saving the photo in PSD and
then combining them using Photomatrix.


Reg-

I always enjoy viewing your photos. I've posted a few of my Photomatix
HDR experiments "over there" for your review.

Very nice....
