HDR Success (somewhat)
#1

I decided to try doing a single-image HDR of this picture of St. Mary's Cathedral in Sydney I took a couple of years ago on my old Kodak Z650.

I made multiple copies in different exposures in Lightroom, then tried an HDR in photomatix. It didn't work so well, there was lots of noise in the dark areas.

But then I did "Average", and after a short visit to Lightroom again, I ended up with this, which i'm satisfied with, despite quality being a bit average.

I think the HDR did its job--filling in the dark places. The photo itself is just an examole of church photos I've seen a lot of.

Nice work on the HDR Rabid. I like this a lot better than the headphone stuff. Well done.

Canon stuff.
