A Superb Sunday by egad

A Superb Sunday

I had a wonderful day today. My sister Katie @mcdougall and her husband Mike invited themselves over to watch the NY Giants playoff game. They brought pizza, so it was ok. At half-time, we went and looked at two open houses for them. I, of course, LOVED the one that was two streets over (it was the better house anyway). Then, we had ice cream sundaes and watch the Giant win. My sister and I then took a walk on the golf course to take some photos. It was really cold, but the sky was gorgeous.

I have to laugh because our shots and write-up are almost identical! Check Katie's shot out...

I also posted a photo of my son watching us head out to the golf course...

This is heavenly!!!!!

So stunning...I wish I understood how to get HDR right! As a newbie it seems so difficult. Is there some magic formula that you follow?
January 10th, 2012  
Amazing shot and HDR! Fav
January 10th, 2012  
@amritdpatel There really is no formula that I follow. I find that it is a lot of trial and error and personal preference. I would say that the one thing that is pretty essential is a tripod. I have been without mine before and my bracketed shots did not line up because I moved just a little. Here is the tutorial that I learned from. http://meckimac.com/hdr-tutorials/hdr-tutorial-part-1-high-noon-light/ I don't do everything on here, but I thought it was a pretty good start. I use Photomatix. I'm not sure what software you use to process HDR. If I can ever answer any questions, please let me know. I would love to help. Good luck!!

no way... you guys are sisters? I follow her too and had no idea about that.

how funny... the pics are sooo similar ;)
January 11th, 2012  
by the way... both pics... from you and Katie are breath taking ;)
January 11th, 2012  
@carrapeta00 It is funny because we go out and shoot together some times, so this is not the first time that we have ended up with almost identical photos. It is the first time that we have edited them similiarly though!
January 11th, 2012  
@egad Awesome! Thanks for this. I've been wanting to get a tripod, so I guess this is a good excuse!
January 12th, 2012  
beautiful sky and processing
January 12th, 2012  
Fantastic reflection in the water xx
January 12th, 2012  
Wow! Beautiful shot!
January 12th, 2012  
excellent!.. very cool!...
January 15th, 2012  
Another newb comment... again, choosing pics from your album that pop from the calendar... I'm realizing that HDR is more common than I'd known... This vs your sister's is fascinating. I'd be interested to have seen the unprocessed versions... overwhelming how many new things one can pursue through this project...
January 13th, 2013  
@squamloon I will see if I can dig out the unprocessed version (new laptop and crashed media server make them hard to find at times!) and post it.
