A new website!!!

Hurraayy!!

My newly developed and designed website is online!
Hereby, I proudly present to you:

Http://www.ambydos.com

Have a quick look around, and I might even stop posting on this blog.. It's all not
written in stone (yet) but I will probably post most of my photos on there.
Some reviews/etc. might also be on there since it's just a lot more compact and easier.

Thank you very much for your understanding and I hope you like my new website. :)

Some more HDR photos

Hey everyone!
Today I was out taking photos in Bourtange (NL) and got quite a nice shot
of a canon. I figured it would look 'dramatic' using the HDR-technique but
as you can see in the photo(s) below, the clouds weren't really dark enough.

So here's a little piece going through the photo I made and the result of it,
after post-processing:

This is the original HDR-photo:
Taken by shooting 3 photos. One overexposed, under exposed and normal exposure.

As you can see, this one is quite grey and vague still. This is basically because of the lack of 'dramatic' and dark clouds. It wasn't the best 'HDR-weather'.

After post-processing, I did get a better result. Usually when you process an HDR-photo you give it a bit more contrast and usually a bit more sharpness and tone down te highlights for a dramatic look.

This is how it turned out in the end:

I must say it's not the best I've made, definitely not. But for what the original HDR was, it came out quite good. The problem is that the clouds just weren't dark enough for it to be 'dramatic' enough and that 'forced' me to post-process the clouds like this, sadly making them look a bit fake..
Even though that might look quite nice, still.
