It is a choose your poison question... When you look at the buildings you can see that they are not very parallel - the ones on the left lean left, the right leans right. This is a feature of tilting wide angle lenses rather than a left to right tilt. I wondered if this would be a problem with tilting the lens down to far to move the horizon from the centre. Perhaps the answer is to shoot with the lens horizontal in both planes and crop to achieve the non-central horizon.

only my second go and I have a lot to learn :)

Very nice DB. Have you noticed the typical issue with HDR? You have the Halo effect on the grass where the fence posts are, notice it? ;)
A little PP with the burn tool in Photoshop will correct the halo effect.
It's a good capture Lou and well suited to HDR.
yes stooge I did notice it..
Having another look, not bad for a second go!! :cool:
PS: Im no expert either, just learning from others
Here is another one I've just made. I've been looking at this website: HDR Tutorial | High Dynamic Range Tutorial and noticed that it talks about making an HDR from a single RAW image and using blended overlays of the raw files (along with some masking) to get the best of both worlds.

Here is another one from this weekend. I've been following the stuck in customs guide and spent a long time burning through layers to get the raw image poking through to remove the halos, etc.
This looks like the same area as Mark's shot above (Currumbin).
The foreground is light and there is colour with reasonable saturation as I was doing some light painting with my torch as well. The rocks to the left were darker and further away...
It took a while, but I'm happy with the improvement I've made to a mediocre image.

Note that the three images used came directly from the Nikon in RAW, slight highlight and pp, but minor. Exposures were 1.3 gaps (under and over standard)
Another one with sky a tadd over saturated to give more oooomph!
