Disney Pics and HDR

[jtimmons2011]

Guys,

I used to post here under jtimmons, but I forgot my password and don't have the same email anymore to recover it, so I created this new login last year.

My family went to Disney World in September, but I'm just now getting around to posting all of the pics. I took a ton of pics this year using my T2i with 18-55mm lens and 55-250mm lens, and I also rented a 50mm 1.5 Prime and Tokina 11-16mm (My favorite now!).

Please leave me some comments and criticism!

First - a fun set of images!

As for the HDR - A number of the images have the common problem of halos. This is most often seen when an object projects into the sky. Some of the skies are also overdone. Many of the images have nice sharpness. Not sure if you were using a tripod, or if you used multiple exposures.

If you haven't seen it, you might want to check out Trey Ratcliff's StuckinCustoms website. He has a free HDR tutorial and a good e-book on the 10 most common HDR Mistakes ( we all make them!).

Thanks for sharing.

Oops - also wanted to add this: if you like the HDR look, you may want to check out the filter sets from NIK software (Color EFEX) and Topaz Adjust. They have free 30 day trial downloads, and you can bring a lot of detail out with these filters - as you can with Lightroom or Photoshop, but it may be easier to work with the filters in the beginning.
