First attempt at HDR image, what do you think?

I couldn't anything to photograph and I was cooking so I decided to try it on my frying pan.

Hmmm Interesting photo, contrast seems a bit strong, but that is characteristic of HDR image right?

Let me make a suggestion. Find a room in your home where the sunlight is coming in through the window. Then take some normal shots and you'll notice that either the room is in good form and the window looks like a nuke just went off outside your house, or the window is in good form and the room is almost black.

Then do the HDR and after you blend the exposures you should see both the room and the window in good form. That's a great demonstration of when to use HDR - helped me understand and look for HDR opportunities much better.

(Original Poster) A+ for improvising a shot.


DavidNM - how do you "blend the exposures"?
