Fletcher Falls HDR - Kaslo, British Columbia

This is the way HDR should be done so that you really don't realize it is HDR. An excellent waterfall shot and kudos on the HDR.

I agree. And I don't mind the blown out bits- I think they add drama to the shot

Thanks ... of course ... I used Photoshop for this one ... I also have PTgui, but that I use more for the panoramas.

Thanks Matt, the reason I ask is that I too am turning to the dark side and experimenting with HDR. I hope I can achieve results such as this.

thank you all for your kind words ... just wished i could help the blown out white parts a bit better ...

You can Matt. Once you've got the HDR to this point open up one of the original shots and place it under the HDR. Then add a Layer Mask to the HDR layer and gently paint with a black brush to erase the blown out bits and show the original shot through where you've painted. It's very simple and effective.

Shall give that a try, MA, thanks for the tip ...
