Sorry, but a bit over the top with the HDR in my opinion. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Kinda reminds me of homer using too many star wipes! Wink

- negative props ahoy! haha

ldhbaker (Jun 12, 2009 at 7:50)

Far too much contrast, especially in the clouds. HDR didn't work on the tree on the left, obviously. It just looks so unrealistic, I'm not sold. Even if it isn't photoshopped, it looks like someone went nuts with the contrast in photoshop.

spunky888spanky (Jun 12, 2009 at 0:43)

dont want to be negative but it would be so much nicer if the hdr wasnt so obvious. for me personaly anyway. good pic though

[Reply]

danked4 (Jun 12, 2009 at 14:30)

had potential... but this is too much. The picture is pro, edit/hdr was amateur.

darrenpallatina (Mar 17, 2011 at 12:03)

I like it... in a wierd kind of way... perfect flip, and the effect just makes it a different kind of pic alltogether. for every person that dont like it there will be 1 that does. Smile

going in my favourite pics!

Thats so sick but the colors of the backgroung and stuff, I think, are photoshoped

Look up "HDR"

[Reply]

tuumbaq (Jun 12, 2009 at 14:24)

CRAP, CRAP,CRAP, who the hell picks these up? This is SUCH a bad picture.

The lightning is the worst part of it, FAR FROM BEING perfect.Totally underexposed and WAY but WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much saturation in the sky...OMG this is JUNK

[Reply]

FrozenShit (Jun 12, 2009 at 7:29)

So what if it is photoshopped with Hue/Sat and contrast?! The shopping is done only for colour correction. You can't blame the camera about it. It's still a GREAT shot! Amazing POD.

[Reply]

mikem1 (Jun 12, 2009 at 9:51)

Nice shot but the over photo-shopping of the photo takes away from it.

Also loving the seemingly rogue jump in the middle of a field. (props to the rider too Big Grin

RideDirtWake (Jun 12, 2009 at 3:54)

For the last time. It's HDR, not photoshopped. Three different exposeures combined to give extreme tonal contrast.

wicked cloudage

satan (Jun 12, 2009 at 0:53)

I don't believe that's an HDR shot.
HDR requires 3 identical pictures of different exposures to be combined as one.
That would be impossible to achieve with a moving target like the rider.

essendonboy (Jun 12, 2009 at 0:56)

i think that it is a true HDR
its just that he only used the shot with the rider in it as one layer, then as you can see with one of the clouds to the left of the rider he used all 3.

+ 12

ericpalmer (Jun 12, 2009 at 0:59)

You can shoot in RAW & use the extra tonal info as if it were 3 shots, so it is possible, it's just called a pseudo HDR. This one is cool, but a lil over saturated for me & the rider is darkened too much from trying to make the sky more contrasty & that's where it looses it for me, but still a cool shot with a crazy surreal feel to it.

driftrc (Jun 12, 2009 at 0:59)

HDR also refers to the process by which a shot can have the extreme highs and lows like this one does. It can be replicated electronically.

I personally think that it is a poor use of HDR. The shadows on the rider are too extreme and the clouds don't have any definition. It looks great in the thumbnail size, but I was disappointed after I opened the pic.

suicidedownhiller (Jun 12, 2009 at 1:02)

Wow. Nice

kiwihardtail (Jun 12, 2009 at 1:23)

this looks like it could be a true HDR shot as you can see some ghosting in the clouds, this could have been achieved with some masking of the rider. I think it is defiantly overdone though, the highlights were lost completely in the tone mapping. Fun effect often overdone. Anyway nice scene and funny expression Smile

MarcioPL (Jun 12, 2009 at 2:52)

nice ps

OrangeGoblin (Jun 12, 2009 at 2:56)

Kiwihardtail, use your head. An HDR photo with a moving object just requires that only one of the pics has the moving object. not that hard. Take a photo of the scene, take one with the rider, then another after of the bare scene. Lay them up HDR style. Thats why the dynamic range on the rider is less noticeable.

Nice pic, but too heavy on the HDR, the range on the clouds is too large. Bright sunshine with almost black sections..... too much.

samjackson10 (Jun 12, 2009 at 3:08) (Below Threshold) show comment

Could just be a super fast shutter speed. That would get this effect!

ericpalmer (Jun 12, 2009 at 3:29)

Mr. Goblin, use your head too man. "this looks like it could be a true HDR shot as you can see some ghosting in the clouds, this could have been achieved with some masking of the rider." Do you know what masking is? coz he never said you need 3 shots of the rider. If you take 1 shot of the rider & a few without to get the entire dynamic range & just do the HDR straight from there your rider will be transparent, so I would HDR the scene without the rider & add him from the single shot to the finished HDR, would get a much better result.

RideDirtWake (Jun 12, 2009 at 3:52)

It was shot in RAW. That means one picture (which saves each pixel exactly, no compression like in a JPG) of a big file size (10-20mb). A RAW file allows lots of tonal adjustment, meaning you could make three copies of the photo, one of each exposure required to make a HDR. Then combine them, as if making a normal HDR. end of conversation.

DHR4C3R (Jun 12, 2009 at 4:13)

POD Potentiel!

ericpalmer (Jun 12, 2009 at 4:23)

RideDirtWake, thanks for repeating what I said Razz

"You can shoot in RAW & use the extra tonal info as if it were 3 shots, so it is possible, it's just called a pseudo HDR. "
Also, you don't need to make the RAW into jpg's, you can drop the RAW shot straight into photomatix. Saves a bit of time & you get a better result. end of conversation.

It's sad that you guys are spending your time complaining about how the picture was made rather than just appreciating it. Good job to photographer and rider, sick shot

(Jojojof)- you can't, you can try but they never quite turn out. EricPalmer explains (so does the guy right below him.lol) how this type of HDR is done up a few comments

AustinSedz (Jun 12, 2009 at 15:08)

its not very well focused... the camera probably wasn't positioned on a very stable tripod, if it was the hdr probably would have been sharper

ChrisRussell500144 (Jun 28, 2009 at 12:59)

krausehouse (Jun 28, 2009 at 13:23)

You can make a HDR out of one RAW file actually. there are loads of good ones on the flickr website. the description of the photo says its a "true HDR" though, which is 3 shots. im not sure how he's done it but you can see that the cloud to the left of the rider has moved which shows he's used more than one photo. It's not very good, clouds are too dark but its not a bad effort

AustinSedz (Jul 3, 2009 at 20:05)

depends how you set up your image bracketing. If your really good at doing digital editing, some people use 6 or 9 pictures for their HDR. HDR just allows you to capture your image at different levels of exposure to ensure you capture all detail, then combine the focal points of each exposure to create a sharp appealing image. Usually HDR's are used for Cars, buildings and landscapes. It's hard to do an HDR correctly with a moving object in it. It can be done, but even the slight motion of the camera by pressing the button more than once (as apposed to letting your camera do the 3 exposures for you) will cause blur or crappy image quality. It could be true HDR but it's blurry cause he didnt use a remote shutter release.... also did he combine the levels manually or just use adobe's HDR utility? :O

Yeah, the amount of pics you take depends on the contrast in the scene. If you're shooting in jpg you shouldn't jump more than 1 stop at a time. Most cases you wont need more than 3 or 4 to capture the entire dynamic range, but I have had to take 7 shots for some really high contrast scenes, but find those normally don't come out very well.

AustinSedz (Jul 4, 2009 at 21:25)

i shoot in cannon .CR2 (RAW) format so no worry in dealing with the loss of quality due to jpeg image compression. I try to avoid jpeg all together. Much better off with shooting raw, editing in photoshop and then saving in .tiff

ericpalmer (Jul 5, 2009 at 0:04)

Yeah, I stay with RAW too, but you don't have to edit the RAW files before you generate the HDR, I just use the 3 or more RAW files & chuck 'em in Photomatix & let it do it's thing & just do the tone mapping as usual. I used to also make bracketed .tiff's & use those for the HDR, but it's a waste of time, coz you get a better result when you use the RAW's directly.
