HDR Black & White experiments

HDR (High Dynamic Range) over recent times has been very popular with photographers with most admitting to of dabbled in the technique at some point. It’s a technique that never fails to spark a debate with everyone having their own, extremely valid opinion. I have always sat of the fence with HDR and have never really mastered the art in the past, though I have always sat back and secretly admired it.

This week we visited the fantastic Warwick Castle and I took the opportunity to take some snaps, including this spiral staircase.

    I like that shot a lot. The biggest problems with HDR are over-saturation (beginners often produce the most gaudy effects) and lack of contrast. I think you have a nice balance with that shot.

    I hope you don’t mind that I used this photo in one my posts. If it is an issue please let me know and I will remove it. Looks awesome and really fits an image I’m trying to convey.

    Hi, I live in Switzerland. I loved this picture of the spiral staircase.
    Could I use this picture for an invitation for an art show? I’m an amateur painter and I’m having my first art show in Switzerland. The photo captures the theme of the show. I would write your name at the bottom of the photo.

    Thank you!
