Same Barn, different composition

[ronwoodcraft]

Another composition of that same barn from the other day. One is processed my normal way, and the is an over done HDR. Meaning High Dynamic Range. Made by combining multiple images of different exposures into one. Some folks don't like them but I sometimes do.

Edit: Adding another picture to try to explain the optical illusion in the first two. It looks like the sky is where the roof should be.

I was going to ask you if you bracket your photos to do HDR before, but I forgot lol. We learned about that tonight in my final DSRL class. I wish it wasn't over. Nice pics!

Sometimes I'll bracket them on a tripod, but usually I don't. Most times I make multiple jpegs or tiffs from one raw image, then combine them in photomatix. That's what I did here.

Guess I better think about going to picture taking school sometime ??.

You take great pictures Grant!....I never had any formal picture taking schooling. Maybe I should have, cause I'm still learning. What I have learned has been through lots of trial and error, ( Heavy on the error. ) and studying on line. There is lots of info out there.

I love HDR photography, but it's easy to get the effect using layers (blurring/sharpening and an adjusted monochrome layer).

Here's pic 3 after editing (a quick 2 minute job at work on an old program)
