Well that would get me a few votes maybe. I was starting to think I wouldn’t get even 1 vote this week. other than my own when I vote later . Not that mine were even close to being up with everybody else this week. It seems to me that all the most striking HDR photos are cityscapes and the town I live in is not real colorful at night nor is there much graffiti which seems to be a good subject for this.

Yeah that too. Welcome. 😀

I certainly don’t mind. I had forgotten about this thread is all . thanks that bottom shot was my desk top for around 3 months. I am currently using the other picture

Whoa. this thread got the dust knocked off . I think having a zoom lens has done me a world of good on moon pictures.

I still tell my mom thanks for the 55-250 lens she got me for xmas.

I agree that the mantiuk looks more realistic but most of my attempts looked rather washed out after all is said n done. Just not very vibrant or over the top.I cannot seem to find middle ground.

I am also having a lot of problems getting this to look right. I cannot afford Photomatix and I am not getting very good results from Qtpfsgui. I spent like six hours yesterday and they all end up looking like the mermaid I posted here Feb 04, 2010 except with more trees and other green things. this is the best of the three I uploaded I think.

Sounds fair. Thanks for the clarification.

[lokisbong]

One of these?

Can it be a natural skyline like a tree line?

Very cool.

This technique and I don’t get along. And when I say that I don’t mean that it likes chocolate and I prefer orange. I mean that we loathe each other with every fiber of our beings. We can’t be in the same room together. Civility is not an option. Hide the knives and won’t somebody think of the children.

In other words, my voting numbers surprise me not at all.

lol.It is pretty hard. My best shot was the one where i wasn’t really trying for the panning effect because I was still learning how to work the new at the time dslr camera.

I have had much better luck with Flickr than I did with ImageShack. I have had some problems but I think most of those have been because of the fuzzy limit thing. this week was a hell of a challenge and I really like the variety of pictures this week.

[lokisbong]

I didn’t use this:

because I thought of it as kind of cliche`- even if he was doing 223.713 mph at the time. 1/500 can pretty much negate panning ‘effects’ at those kind of speeds- even if the subject is moving so damn fast it’s hard to keep in the viewfinder.

Wow am I glad you didn’t use that! thats awesome. Though not much motion blur as you sorta said.

[lokisbong]

I’m in the same boat as all the people saying this is hard. I currently have 2 pictures that fit the theme and I’m not sure either will get any votes at all.

[lokisbong]

My third picture seems to have disappeared.Its only 57 kb so I wonder why it did that? thanks in advance.

[lokisbong]

I have a missing picture. I guess kind of its close to the fuzzy limit. and If it doesn’t get fixed I will survive. nobody has paid it any attention anyway.
