Some love HDR photos, some hate them. I am in the camp of both. I used to do a ton of HDR's, but I usually keep them as real looking as possible, instead of the grunge or fake looking ones all over the internet. I was at Strasburg today and the light was funky, clouds one minute and sun the next.
I snapped this 9 exposure HDR of the old N&W 475. I knew it was HDR or nothing if I wanted to get the details of the storm clouds over the locomotive will still getting all her details. When I put it in my processing software I let it run and left. When I came back this is what it spit out, now extra processing. I usually would make adjustments to where it would look much more natural but I really like the deep colors and the details. Hope you like it.
I really would like to get a Sunset version of this locomotive that they are producing and repainting it for my shoreline Michigan and Great Lakes but it just isn't in the budget right now.
