Thanks again for taking the time…very much appreciated!
]]>Since it’s low dynamic range to begin with, perhaps try using Enfuse (or ImageFuser on the Mac.) That should bring the dynamic range to bear without causing some of the halo artifacts. Heck, it’s free, so it’s worth a try.
Also agree that it’s a killer comp, great use of ‘ma’.

]]>I’ll probably get shouted down for this given the other commenters but I bet this shot would have been just as good without having been processed as an HDR. I would love to see what the center exposure looked like with just a bit of tweaking in Photoshop.
I really enjoy tank shots, especially when the play of light over the curved surface is included. Here the tanks are pretty close to back-lit so you miss that. Looking at these, I would be tempted to stick on a long lens and try to capture the shadows cast by the stairs in the top left. It looks like there’s some interesting stuff going on up there too.
]]>Still, an excellent comp.
