I can't say that I was brought up at all religious, yet I do have a love for decent architecture.
This church in Beecroft was built in 1900. I would have to say, tonight was most probably the first time it was shot in HDR.
I have tried to ease back on the tone mapping, as I most certainly did not want a 3D rendered look.
I think I am running a very thin line with these, yet I feel that I am getting closer to the mark I'm looking for.
I have taken on board Humayun's warnings (
) and feel this would be the absolute limit of HDR in standard shots. In fact, I perhaps have over stepped the bounds a tad, actually now that I am re-evaluating, perhaps this is too much.
In future shots I will ease back even more.
I do not want HDR to become an over-powering element in my photography, as it sends shivers up some peoples spine. I can totally understand that, as it looks horrible when over cooked.
As always comments and critique are welcomed!!
