blwnbyu Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I love the nature shots, blwnbyu, but a lot of the photos seem too high contrast or is it an HDR software you are using? I say that because some software makes images look too much like a cartoon, but I am not a fan of HDR photography, because some people rely too much on post-production work.If you can, post a before and after photo of the photography.Photomatix actually leaves them with less contrast and you have to add that back in..

M4Mustang Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Wow awesome pics ed! What setting/method were you using for picThanks! :bunnyb:All shots were taken with a Nikon D300 using an SB-800 flash and a Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens. I will have to check the EXIF data, but the settings were usually around a 200 ISO (to be as crisp as possible), no flash, 1/250 (did not want to go any faster or it would 'freeze' the wheels in motion), f/5 (because it was overcast most of the day).
