This is not the greatest picture but I am still playing with my new camera, which has the ability to take several pictures in succession with different aperture settings so they can be combined into one HDR image. The camera can also make an HDR image automatically but I wanted to try the manual approach. The first picture below has the foreground more or less correctly exposed, but the sky is a bit over exposed;
P8090011.JPG


So I took a second picture with a darker sky and then using Photoshop Elements 12 I cut the foreground out of this dark sky picture:
P8090008-cropped.jpg


and then overlaid this onto the first picture with the correctly exposed foreground to produce this composite image:
Test-HDR1.jpg


Hardly ground breaking stuff but I was impressed with the edge detection in PSE 12, which you can see in the second picture how it has cut out the trees. It is a lot better than the tool available on PSE 8 which was the previous version I had. The image above is OK but being fussy I then took away the power lines:
Test-HDR2.jpg

I just need to find a more interesting subject to try this out on! These were also done with JPGs and I want try playing with RAW images, which was the main reason for buying PSE 12.

HDR stands for high dynamic range and is a way of making images with greater impact. My attempts are trivial compared to examples you can find on the Web, but early days and I will keep playing with the method.

Have a look at Photomatix software. Also,if you shoot RAW files you can create your different exposures,to some extent,from one image and then let Photomatix do the Tonal Mapping.

No, it's a 10p piece, it was all we could muster between all the workers and the client with 2014 on it.

The tanner wouldn't have been minted in 2014, I imagine they would have stopped minting that around 1969 or 70, though we found a 1961 tanner in one part of the old works and a 1981 (penny) tightwad on the other chimney when the place was last re-roofed.

Whenever my firm topped-out we always used a half crown or a florin at least.

So your inflation hasn't gone up much then.

A Florin, or two bob peice, is the same as 10p, for those younger ones on here. :LOL:
