Let’s have some fun with High Dynamic Range photography. Please keep your entries closer the the side of Farktography rather than complete Photoshopping when possible.

This is what makes me love Farktography. I stop being such a scaredy cat and try out new things. Even if I do end up with coffee beans on pink plates. 😳
November 15, 2007 at 4:26 pm #14104schneeParticipantA couple of more

November 15, 2007 at 5:04 pm #14105nutkick_42ParticipantIs there any free Windows-based software out there that would allow me to compete in this contest? I would really like to try this, but I can’t afford a copy of Photoshop.
November 15, 2007 at 5:43 pm #14106ElsinoreKeymasterIIRC, Photomatix has a free trial version that puts a small watermark in the corner of the photo, but that it’s easily airbrushed out. Check the HDR board on here; there should be some posts in there about it.
November 15, 2007 at 11:45 pm #14107RcMacStudentParticipantYou might try the demo version of Photoshop CS3, IIRC it’s a 30 day, full feature demo.
November 16, 2007 at 12:16 am #14108linguineParticipantqtpfsgui has a windows version
http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/#downloadNovember 16, 2007 at 12:51 am #14109ElsinoreKeymasterGood call, linguine. That’s what I use under Linux with good results.
November 16, 2007 at 5:40 am #14110millera9ParticipantThe Gimp is also free and there are scripts that can be downloaded to take different images and combine them to make an HDR. It’s what I used for last year’s contest.
November 16, 2007 at 1:32 pm #14111linguineParticipantI used gimp too last year, but it doesnt include tonemapping so it looks a little different. Heres one I did using gimp:

And heres what the same shots look like using qptfsgui:

November 20, 2007 at 4:02 am #14114corsec67ParticipantWow, you have a ton of ghosting in the clouds there. One advantage to doing it in Gimp is that you can paint out the layer mask in areas like that to make it all one of the layers. That is pretty cool, though, in an more abstract-art kind of way. Probably took about 1 min in qtpfsgui, though.
OK, that qtpfsgui is pretty nifty:
