When this is done right your pictures can seem to pop right out of the screen. I'm not really sure I did it right. Actually with my camera you can't do it really wrong, but I think my subjects maybe weren't quite right for this kind of photography.
I think the pictures turned out fine enough, but they aren't quite what I was hoping for. So, what was I hoping for? I'm still not exactly sure. Maybe these are just fine and I'm just nitpicking. Sometimes I think my problem is that I'm really never happy with the pictures I take.
I'm going to try this HDR setting again, but I'm going to choose some different subjects for the pictures. Maybe I'll choose something like a barn or a farmyard scene. That might work better than these cornfields. I think the cornfields are kind of ugly this time of year anyway, in one way of thinking.
I know I seem negative about the whole thing. That's just the way things come out with me sometimes. But the whole experience was a positive one. I was able to begin trying out the different features of my camera, so I'm gaining so new knowledge. And I've been getting more pictures, so I've been having a lot of fun. That's always a good thing. I'll talk to you later.
Making adjustments in a photo editor can bring more out of HDR photos, my human has found.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that. I don't want to make so many adjustments that they come out obnoxious though. I've done that in the past.
DeleteI think you may be right about picking a different subject. The important thing it so have fun doing it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll probably be happier if I try more things as my subjects. I like these the more I see them though.
DeleteI think the pictures are looking great. Every detail is very clear. Cornfields are not ugly. There is plenty of color variances with the different yellows, browns, the sky and the trees. I would be very happy with it. I like the way those hay bales show up.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the cornfields. I like them better when they aren't all harvested like they are now. The pictures look better the more I look at them. The day was kind of bright, and I was hoping for a few more shadows.
DeleteI like the way the topography shows in the second one.
ReplyDeleteI like it too. I always thought the cut of the different fields was interesting.
DeleteBrings distance in better
ReplyDeleteThe look of the distance is one of the things I was trying to capture. I keep hoping I got it right.
DeleteIt's a learning experience, besides, the pictures look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope to keep learning. One of these days I'll know just what to do when I take my pictures.
DeleteWow, crystal clear. What kind of camera is that?
ReplyDeleteThanks. My camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. It's probably one of the best of the point and shoot cameras, and one of the most expensive. I hated to pay so much, but it's been everything I wanted and more.
Deletei have not tried HDR photography yet, maybe, I should next time. the textures in the pictures are very detailed.
ReplyDeleteYou should give HDR a try. Try many different subjects though. I'm going to do that when I get a chance.
DeleteWow! You're right! The colours and textures really do pop in HDR. I really like both of these photos and can't wait to see more.
