Description

This is my first experiment with exposure bracketing with my brand new camera which doesn't exactly comes with a bracketing feature, but I'm using a hacked firmware that allows the use of scripts.

I took 5 shots from -2EV to +2EV and then composited into this new image with a bit of tweaking here and there with the colors and contrast to make it look nicer.

For the ones interested, this is one of the buildings of my university campus in Braga, Portugal; called University of Minho.

The composition is very nice and I like the sky, fits the title.
Don't know what it is, but the tree in the foreground looks a bit strange.
And I think the people in the background are a bit distracting, but that's a minor thing. So overall a very good job!

The problem with the tree in the foreground it's the wind's fault, in the 5 different shots, the tree leafs were moving. You are also right about the people, but I don't think they would leave if I asked them to

.
But this was my first experiment with this technique, I just have to improve it.

Interesting work!
I like the clouds details and the gray tones

Very nice details. It seems so still and quiet underneath the blanket of clouds, with the exception of the people in the street on the right.

I think you did a good job with the post processing, although I think the subject is a little lacking. My eye wanders a little too much, from the tree to the building and back again...I guess the building isn't quite an interesting subject, but I do love the clouds in this one. I look forward to more from you

Hi nazgulled,

Great shot for a first experiment, I have to say that the clouds are excellent. The tree and the building are competing for my attention. When doing HDR, you want to try and avoid the "halo" effect you get around objects like we see in your tree, It just makes it seem a little un-natural and is abused on galleries such as the flickr HDR website. But overall, I love the detail and the mood. Nice work!

OK, that explanes my impression of the tree

And off course you're right about the people, had the same problem some times.
For a first try on HDR this is very good, so keep shooting!

Interesting mood; I like this, though the sharp green of the tree in the foreground throws me off a bit. Good photo overall.

Excellent colours mate, love the desaturated feel. Composition is excellent, extremely well balanced, makes an uninteresting subject very beautifully portrayed 7/10

Nice composition, but I would like to see a bit more on the bottom (tree roots).
