The reflected lights are just the cafes of Southbank.

The material is stainless, but the lights are not neutral, so there is a colour cast which makes it look somewhat coppery.

Cheers, Steve

Yeah, but I was close though!

It's all relative, the first 21" Monitor I used cost over $100,000 it was a Sony and could display almost VGA quality and weighed over 40kg's - Ansett Air Freight put a fork lift tyne through it

Ok so I think I have got it did a bracket today on the car and tried again with 2 stops difference like you suggested

they are the same pic HDR is just cropped





I want to thank you matt for bringing this editing stuff to my attention as i'm about to submit some pics to a mag and I have done a couple of HDR's like this one to show some of the accessories

and you are also right in the fact that now I have done it I see what advantages it has and I enjoy doing them


Who else is using the trial software?

Nice work DB!

Very clever stuff ain't it?

CS4 demo here and PhotoMatix.

I don't see a PhotoMatix watermark though on yours.

Is this all done in CS#(?) ?

this is why I asked who was using the trial

Ok folks?

By creating a HDR image, regardless of pre- or post-production software or gizzmos, are we not just pseudo 'developing' the original .raw image?

The difference between DB's No.1 and No.2 images above is the difference between a .jpg and a .raw image?

AKAIK, all CCD imaging devices used for basic (ie. non-scientific) imaging take the image in .raw format.

not exactly!
as they are both .raw images because it is the same image only the second has 2 other .raw images blended in with it

you cant use my'n above as an example of jpeg and raw as even though the 2 is a HDR the first still has way more info than a jpeg
