HDR Old Dodge truck in Julian CA
This was taken with D800 24-70mm, f/14, bracketed from 5 shots, ISO 200. I merged all the shots in Photoshop CS6 HDR Merge to HDR Pro, then ran High Pass filter
> vivid light w/ opacity set at 43%.
Let me know what you think:

There's some slight haloing around the truck and some of the foliage, but that's tough to avoid and it's pretty minimal. I might like to see the blacks punched up just a tiny bit, but I'd bet that wouldn't be as true to the actual look of the truck so it's probably better this way.

I know where I picked up the haloing
I didn't notice till I uploaded it. I'm going to give it another go this evening and I'll try punching up the blacks to see how that works out. I don't have a lot of experience with HDR, so this is very much learning experience for me. Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.
