HDR Work – Is it worth further processing?

One of the things that leaps out at me when I surf the net, viewing all those lovely examples of HDR, is this where the shot should end?, is there more to be earned from a little further processing, or as a friend loves to call it, the pushing around of the pixels. I suppose it becomes subjective or just a matter of taste.

I’m not sure if this guy has a site of his own, but he has wonderful examples of HDR, with a bit extra added in. Venture over and pay a visit to a guy by the name of Mike Savad, he has some of his wares on display at http://www.redbubble.com/people/mikesavad

As for me, I’m still very much in the mode of “playing” with HDR and a few other techniques to see what works. Here’s one I did the other night.

This is a rarity for me, a three shot HDR (no tripod, just love the Canon 40D frame rate) After processing in Photomatix, I decided an extra serve of dodging and burning was the way to go. Hopefully with summer holidays starting, and hoping my arm stays on the mend, I hope to be bringing a few more HDR to a page near you. Any questions, fire away.
