First attempt at Exposure Bracketing and HDR

The goal is to get more realistic images using my digital camera. Since this is my first time, I’ve over done it with the saturation and the images might look a little cartoony.
The sensors on today’s digital cameras are not sensitive enough to capture the entire spectrum of what we see. Multiple exposures are used in order to get all the information available. This method is called exposure bracketing and it is used to created HDR images.
These images have such a high range of color values that they are not able to be displayed on your monitor. Software is used to adjust the hell out of these images and compress their color spectrum until its somewhat presentable on the regular monitors. These are my first attempts:

I love them. It’s unfortunate that they don’t look as good as the hi-res ones, but they definitely demonstrate your abilities

Lots of good shooting locations at Innovation Place. The Galleria shots are a bit much — the greens in those trees is so intense it almost looks like infrared photography. The shot of the crop sciences field has a lot of potential, it’s mainly the greens that are overblown again. The last one from the Boffins’ Club gardens doesn’t look retouched at all, although the composition is a bit flat. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks Levi, I agree with all your suggestions. As for the greens, I’ve really been slider happy when it comes to those. I’ve been sliding the saturation up and changing the hue slightly. I will post more in a few days and try and take all these suggestions into account.
How the hell did you see this post so fast, I just posted it. Do you secretly have facebook?
Igor, quit playing with those sliders! Looks good man.
