We're open for voting in our
HDR Challenge
The HDR Challenge is intended for people who enjoy the area of High Dynamic Range imaging or would like to learn more about it. HDR imaging uses special processing and often multiple exposures to achieve its results.
This is where we share our images and encourage all or members to vote for the ones they enjoy most.

Here's our new HDR Mini Challenge for you all.
HDR Challenge #12 - Doors
Details: - - HDR Challenge #12 – Doors
- Here's our twelth HDR challenge and the subject for your pictures is 'Doors'. There's nothing that looks as good as a nicely painted front door with polished brass furniture ... unless it's a worn and battered old door with the paint falling off and the glass broken. Doors are everywhere, so you won't have to go far to find one. The main thing is please take new shots for the challenge rather than delving into your archives. Once again please give details of your processing techniques, what software you used to process the image, how many exposures you used and how many stops apart they were. Details of any further processing would be good to have so that others can learn from your methods.
The best HDR shots are created by using multiple exposures to create bright but controlled highlights with lots of detail in the shadows but you can use any HDR or pseudo HDR method you like for this challenge.
- Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an off site location that allows linking using the image codes. If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo. If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it. If you aren't sure how to do that, please let us know. If you use the attachment, we'll edit your post for you and post it large for easier viewing. Please do not attach a photo larger than 700 pixels long on the longest side.
- Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.
- Put each entry in a separate post. Please ONLY POST ONE PHOTO PER POST and make sure you put a short title above your photo.
- Please also tell us how many exposures you used, how many stops apart they were and what software you used for the HDR processing as well as any details of further processing if you're willing to share your secrets.
- The challenge is open now for uploading for the next month. Voting will commence on 16th June 2012
- Please put a title in your post for your photos. We need the title for the poll listing.
Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge. So start posting. Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
Remember, this is a fun project! I hope you enjoy this Challenge!
David  |

I don't think anything's cheating, Carole. There are many different ways of achieving a result. It will be great if you can join us for the next challenge. David |
