peak district HDR
this is my first attempt at an HDR image. HDR basically means taking more than one shot of a scene at different exposures and then choosing which bits to use from each. while in theory this could make the photo look more like what it did at the time, HDR's tend to have more of a surreal look to them.
i'd imagine that creating HDR's is a lot easier if when you have the correct hardware and software. in this shot i auto-focused on the sky which caused the hills to be too dark, i then took a picture a second later focusing on the hills that caused the sky to be whited out. i then took them both into photoshop and put them both together. i'm not completely happy with how it turned out but i enjoyed the experiment. the original image i've included is a combination of the two before changing any levels.
