Shedding Tree - Riverside Botanical Gardens, California (May 2006)
This is another HDR effort on my part. I think it's kind of eyecatching. It's definitely different. Interestingly enough, this shot achieved the #1 most interesting photo spot on May 29, 2006 on www.Flickr.com.
One thing I have to say about HDR is that it is time-consuming. The above photo is a combination of 10 separate photos shot at 1-stop increments. Each of those photos has to be converted from RAW format to TIFF and then combined into one 32-bit HDR image which takes up ~150 MB of storage space. After that, it has to be processed again into an editable 8 or 16 bit TIFF or JPG. Then, you can start your brightness/contrast/color corrections. It's a lot of work, but you can get some interesting results.

very nice. what i really like is the little green tree you can see in the distance under the right limb of the main tree.
it does complement the main subject pretty well.
i love the shades in this picture and i showed it especially to one of my colleagues whose photography is considered the best in my office. Where can i learn more about HDR?
A couple of posts earlier than this I left some links for more information on HDR photography. You could also do a google search for it. There is plenty of information out there on it.
