Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.

I'm out of touch with the technicalities of photography these days digidark but presume HD is High Definition and this image - as presented here - is certainly that.

I appreciate this is not the place to comment too much on other peoples 'work' but I worry this is a little too much 'fixing' for me resulting in the unreal.

If you are going to ignore the 'fixing' then this is without doubt an excellent piece of artwork.

Pete.

Stands for High Dynamic Range Pete, I've done a couple, it can involve taking two or three photos of the same scene with different exposure settings, then overlaying them, can get some quite interesting results.

I like this one Ian, although there is a smidgen of ghosting on the horizon.

Below is a composite of three exposures and the final HDR, this was my first, but does show the benefits of the technique.

Thank you for your comments,they are much appreciated. To me HDR is a way of simulating the differences between negetive film and slide film.

http://www.digital-creativity.co.uk is a site worth a look if you are interested in quality results using HDR. Its the site of one of our members....Spooks by name
