Some more of my HDR attempts (that I won't be using for the contest)

1. You go girl!

I'm impressed to say the least. The favorite is number one!

I'm not trying. No time right now, a bit much on my plate to learn new stuff when I don't even maneuver well in the old.

[Solly Mack]

2. Thanks, Mira.

The first one is the most subtle. I like it too. If I had only removed that one leaf, I would love the photo.

I'm just playing around until I figure it out. (Which means I'll be playing around a long time)

3. WOW!

Now I have to go look up what HDR is. It will be a long time before I am ever proficient enough to consider doing anything more than shooting regular shots

I too love the first one and even love all the leaves. The second is also nice. More interesting with the sky and the fence but I still like #1 the best.

That mantis is awesome

4. Hey Muse! Thanks.

You should see what other group members can do with HDR. I'm still very much a novice.

The next contest coming up this month is HDR. (high dynamic range)

Here's a link.

You need the software. Several to choose from. People have their favorites.

Here's the one I've been using

10. Oooh thank you!

I have too much to learn before I can even allow myself to look at all of this but I am saving the links. I am looking forward to seeing more. You are doing wonderful things.

5. Bravo!

All my HDR attempts don't even come CLOSE to what you've managed to create!

KUDOS!

6. I like the last one

I know HDR can be used subtly but when I think of HDR I think of weird, over the top and surreal. that one does it.

[Solly Mack]

8. Thanks! That one is my favorite.

I like how it came out. The colors of the background especially.

9. Damn good photos.

[Solly Mack]

[trusty elf]

13. I like all of them.

The praying mantis shots are startling!

[Solly Mack]

14. Thanks, trusty elf

I think I finally have my photo for the contest.

15. My favorite are the sunflowers

Because though they're HDR, they don't look over done. That's one of my pet peeves about HDR--the overcooked look. You're picking up fast on it though. Good work.

[Solly Mack]

16. Thanks, justiceischeap.

I'm not a fan of HDR but it can be fun. I sometimes like the overdone look, depending on how it comes out.

[rdking647]

17. i like the first mantis

he seems to be saying are you talking to me????

i like HDR but only in certain cases. but then im a fan of the unusual

[Solly Mack]

18. Thanks, rd. The mantis was very patient with me.

[JCMach1]

20. Thanks, nice shots

I will be bowing out of this one as I find the HDR thing far to fiddly...

[Solly Mack]

21. Thanks, JCMach1

I've been having fun practicing and figuring things out. Not that I've figured things out. lol

[Celebration]

22. Solly Mack!

You just made me a fan of HDR!

[Solly Mack]

23. Thanks, Celebration.

It's OK. It has been a fun learning experience.
