Daves View
At Minehead
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 17 December 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
Taken at Minehead earlier this year; this is a HDR image with 2 different processing stages, one for the sky and one for the foreground (after Dave Nightingale at Chromasia pointed out wot an obvious idea this was). As far as I can tell, thats a weather station up there!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Perfect HDR Dave ! I love your sky... perfect for me !
What software are you using by the way ?

@zOOm: Thanks zOOm, I normally use the photomatix plugin for photoshop. I've had some interesting results with the merge to HDR command in PS, but it takes a really long time, especially with a slow laptop! :)

it truly is a piece of art - I don't know what the original photo looked like, but your processing is absolutely stunning

You are doing a terrific job with the processing. How tedious is to go through this? Gorgeous sky.

Excellent work, Dave... soft processing, without exaggeration. I like all the grey and blue tones... fantastic atmosphere!

Buen tratamiento y expectacular cielo. La torre, me hubiera gustado desplazada a un lado u otro. Solo es mi opinión.
Saludos.
