Beat this: (54 shot HDR)

Seems unremarkable to me, apart from the picture in question being
somewhat smaller than the referring url.

 

Photoshopped!

I've been to the Cheltenham Badlands and this is more like it

Nice, I love HDR.
I tend to really push the HDR so its quite OTT. Not everyones taste
admittedly, a bit like marmite but hey ho!

Can't think why you bothered.

Well, a bit back, there was a bit of a rebellion here against tinyurls etc.
It may have been newsreader snobbery, as mine can't handle wrapped urls.
They piss me off, as I have to copy and paste them.

Hmm, Whitby eh? Mate of mine just sold his house there. Too grim. And too
many grockles apparently.

 

Err no. Cheltenham.

You put up a link that said Cheltenham Badlands, so I put up a link to
Badlands in Cheltenham.

I thought for once I'd done something straightforward and easily
understood. Apparently not

Yes I know. But the link also pointed to your (or sombody's) photo
collection, which included photos of Whitby.

 

The main thrust of my point was the sadly small size of the referred
picture - I mean, if somebody has gone to the lengths of compiling a 54-
shot HDR picture, why reproduce it as a large postage stamp?

As to tinyurls, I think it was the worksurfers who were concerned about
what may have been concelaed behind an anonymous url. This can be
offset by presenting the review function, which doesn't automatically
take the viewer straight to the concealed url, but asks first, having
revealed the real destination.

Having changed newsreaders a couple of times recently, it brings home
how differently they deal with things, and it seems difficult to get to
a size that fits all. Xnews and XanaNews would have taken taht url in
their strides, but Gravity would only click the top line, leaving me to
c'n'p the second line - which is, as you observe, a PITA. Some readers
leave such urls unwrpped, where others insist on breaking them.

Meh. Post and be damned, innit - by 50% of the available readership,
and usually by me ;-)

 

It's not a very good picture is it? Just a case of hdr willy-waving.

Thanks

Aye, it is a little (others have pointed that out too) though its also been
said that the small size indicates how insignificant man is compared to the
environment - so two schools of thought I guess. Aside - I was up a huge
hill, stood in a stream, photographing a herd of wild red deer when the
plane whizzed past. I kind of spun round as best I could and tried to track
the plane with the camera without slipping in the stream and breaking
limbs/camera etc.

Photos taken in RAW. This produced the 3 images for HDR processing.

Awesome day though! The road (A93, the Old Military Road) goes from Braemar
through to Glenshee Ski Centre and beyond, essentially following the river
Dee IIRC. Popular with campers and bikers etc. Utterly staggering! (you can
"drive" the road on google street view!!)


(confession: we did it in a Saab, not on a bike :-/ )

Overdone, but not as bad as it could be.

 

Oh man, that's baaaaaaaaad.

Ha! Chance would be a fine thing. No, there's some Whitby photos in that
link, although I'm certain you already knew this. I clicked on the link at
the top of the page and got a faceful of Whitby.

 

Champ escribió:

Yeah, this one of mine was much better.

Aaaaa. My eyes. Not 54 shots though. Only 3. And my first attempt.

 

I really like that, particularly because it's not pretending to be an
unmanipulated photograph.

I've clicked a lot of links there now, and I can't find "a faceful of
Whitby". Just trolling again, Paul?

Well obviously, as always. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bazzadarambler/
(from the top of the page) is the link I refer to in my trolling though.

Oh, the bridge just fell on my head.

Aren't those F1 cars fragile? I just saw one crash a bit and it fell to
pieces. He was going quite quickly though.

It's got something. No idea what, though. I just think it's eerie (sp?).

My wife likes it. She wants me to get a poster of it done for the new flat.
