]]> Comment on HDRi comparison…Photomatix Pro vs Picturenaut…a first look by Chris http://chriswiddall.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/hdri-comparisonphotomatix-vs-picturenaut/#comment-26 Chris Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:49:02 +0000 http://chriswiddall.wordpress.com/?p=370#comment-26 Hi Mike Blend of multiple exposures give much more richness of detail throughout the image and does away with the need to mask areas off - notably the difficulty in masking off trees against sky, which is a nightmare! The problem with multiple exposures is subject movement between the exposures, e.g. wind on grass. Also, if you go too far, the result looks very unnatural (but you might like that!) Try them both and see which you prefer! Hi Mike

It's a late afternoon shot...and totally unplanned...I had been photographing a <a href="http://chriswiddall.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/google-earth-and-hdri/" rel="nofollow">favourite tree</a> in clear skies, when the light started to fade and we set off home. In all the years I have lived here I have never seen these amazing conditions before. Ilan – it’s a great place – my home is just on the lower slopes of the far hill.
