Food for the Ducks

[Isac]

Plenty of duck tucker at the lake this season, flowing among the paper bark trees. 5 bracketed shots HDR

Don't mind that, it shows a lot of detail. If I see it's HDR I am turned off. This looks ok I think the tree in the lft foreground may be a little flat but it isn't supposed to be the center of attention.

Nice shot Isac. HDR is a really great tool to use, I use it pretty frequently. You also did well to avoid deep frying the photo with excessive tone mapping.

Thanks Hans. I like to do my HDR without over cooking them so I think I hit a good balance with this one.

Thank you David. I take 5 bracketed shots 2 stops apart when there are too many lighting issues to deal with. I have it set in C1 (7Dii like yours) on my dial and then do the HDR later. It works for this type of image and I'm like you, I dislike the "deep fried" look.
