Ok, I know I said I would never do HDR. Well, I guess I had to be properly motivated. Ever since I have capture "Under The Canopy" I have been trying to capture an "Under No Canopy" shot. DR was my #1 problem with this. And HDR being so gritty, and fake looking was somthing I would never attempt. Ok....here goes. I merged 5 shots together using the NIK tool in photoshop. Converted it from 32 bit to 16bit, and proceded with my normal processing. My goal was to keep the light right and for the fact it is HDR to not stand out. Roman

Roman, you used the Nik plug-in correctly to get what you wanted 9expanded DR only) and that's why the image doesn't look HDR'd (is that a word??) Hated HDR myself, thought it looked rather cartoonish, but as part of my Masters program I just had to take an HDR class and HDR is not what I thought it was at all. I never think twice now to use HDR if a high contrasty situation calls for it. Nice work!

I too like you did not like the exaggerated results from earlier HDR tools. This I can live with, to now time to dive into the pool. Roman

Roman, this is one magnificent tree. And that is what I saw first! When I get smacked in the face with technique over content then I am turned off of the image. It seems to have to work harder to communicate the story that image has to tell. I have used these additive techniques and only on few occations have they made me happier with the image. And doesn't that seem to be the case with filters too? They are fun to play with but when they overpower the image they are not much help. Great image! Beautiful light
