I am so pleased to see there is an interest in HDR at Retouch....It is such fun to do....I do when time permits do the bracketing but have done many transformations with just one photo...or i have taken the one photo and changed the exposure levels on up to 5 photos....Sometimes an extreme effect looks good but a couple of weeks ago when i arrived home from the Coffee Shop the sky was an amazing color...but it was getting dark...I went out with my camera and took single shots...didnt want to waste any time as the light fades fast....took many photos ( I am quite new to DSLR cameras and have just started to shoot in RAW) I did all my processing and was a little disappointed that they wasnt as much life in them as i would have liked....so i thought i would see what Dynamic Photo could do (my favorite HDR program to date) I am more than happy with the results...now they have some umph...not overly done but looking as i wanted...I am going to try and post a couple for you to see the difference....
