HDR Woes

February 28, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

I've never been a big fan of HDR.  It almost feels like cheating sometimes.  But every now and then it's a nice way to make something out of shots that wouldn't be there otherwise.  I was playing around with a new filter the other day and while walking back to the car I shot a series of 5 exposures at 1 stop differences off the bridge over Boynton Inlet.  I didn't have a full set of filters with me and didn't feel like setting the tripod back up so I bracketed the photos instead and created an HDR image as a fall back.  Even the natural setting in Photomatix was pretty boring so I decided to go more drastic with the image below.
