New HDR experiments
Recently I replaced my point and shoot photo camera with a DSLR camera. I bought a Canon EOS 500D. I always loved making photo’s, but never took the time to really get into it. This will change now I have my 500D 
Here are some pictures I took this week in the Ostend harbour area:
These are all multi-exposure HDR images. I used 3 exposures (-2,0,+2) to get these results. I try to keep my HDRi’s as natural as possible. When I started making HDRi’s, I made the same mistake most beginners make, and that’s overprocessing the photo’s to get that dramatic HDR look. For some reason most HDR enthousiast don’t mind their final image looks flat, has halo’s around objects, etc, as long as it has a “HDR-look”. In my opinion this is not what HDR is about.
Personally I think a good HDR photo is a photo that doesn’t look like a typical HDR image. So I just use the technique to have perfectly lit photographs, and try to keep away from the dramatic overprocessed look.
