[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was an image taken in 2004 on my Fuji S7000 of a castle through an avenue of trees. Nothing spectacular, but the lighting was the issue on this shot; the trees were very dark, the castle very bright. I'd read about the HDR process of combining images with varying exposures, this process captures the light and tones available from each image.
I used 7 images to create this, from EV-3-Norm-EV+3, then merged them in Photomatix to create the end result. Now the trees have colour and the castle is not blown out.

It is only an experiment at this stage but I aim to try the same method using bracketed images from RAW files.
I'm of out today as the weather is a little better!

Thanks for looking, Gary

Hello, Gary.

A good experiment that's worked out well. I tried this once with my picture of that green locomotive - "Morayshire", No. 246 - and it seemed to work reasonably well. I just downloaded the free Photomatix Basic but, as far as I can gather, you can only merge two images in that. Did you use the full-fat version?

A very good result! Great fun, eh?

Best Wishes,

John.
