Hanavsky pavilion This is one of my handheld HDR's. It's always a little bit of a hit or miss. A lot of them are really not usable, either not sharp enough or they can't be aligned at all. Usually I don't bother and just go to another photo. Just when I see that the photo is really promising I stick with it :). What I found, that a great way to do it, is to tonemapp just a single exposure, and then just mask in parts, which need to be fixed. Usually when you cannot align the whole image, its still possible to align a smaller part. With this photo I had absolutely no problems :). The alignment worked perfectly, I just had to correct the moving people. This is the Hanavsky pavilion, which is situated on a hill above Prague. There is a great view of the city from here, and you can actually see it a little in the bottom right part of the photo. HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, handheld.
After taking photos This photo was taken after a beautiful sunset which I spend taking photos in the woods (which I already shared on this blog :)), and we were on the way back. This was the great car we used to get there :). As this was taken some time after the sunset, the sky was this light blue which almost looked like white in the photos. I was thinking of making it more blue, but then decided against it. I left the car, the darkest part of the photo. In this shot I really played with the distortion, which is created with a wide angle lens. The Camera was maybe 1m from the car at F18 to still keep it sharp. It almost looks like the car is bend :) HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, from a tripod.
Inside the Cathedral of St. Peter And Paul in Brno Another shot from a cathedral :). They always look so good in HDR. I edited this photo few times, as the white wall tends to be quite grey in HDR shots. But after few tries it came out just right.
