I’ve been swamped the past couple of weeks with shoots and edits so I’ve been pretty quiet as of late in terms of new HDRI content. Speaking of neglect, I haven’t updated my website in well over a year. Most of the photos are 2 to 3 years old. A number of them are still my favorites, but MANY of them really gotta go!!!
I’m thankful that I have consistent work coming in the door and my site is not a huge priority, but I should (some time soon) sift through the shoots of the last year and pull the best shots and redo my entire website. Here are a couple of links from recent shoots for realtor’s MLS listings. I may have tweeted these ( I can’t keep track ).

Basically I’d take one or maybe two shots from those links that would ultimately make it on my website portfolio.
They are beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Keep up the awesome work.

What size lens are you using ?
Fisheye or 12-24 mm ?
is it on a FX or DX camera ?
I assume more than three images
and fractional f-stops intervals.
The pictures are exquisitely beautiful.
I’d be happy to help you out by updating your website.
Thanks Deyson
Chuck, the shots were with two cameras and lens combos.
1. Nikon D3 + 14-24mm f/2.8G
2. Sigma SD14 + 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM
Most of my captures are 7-15 frames (rarely 5 frames or less and sometimes greater than 15 frames with 1/3rd EV steps when I need the highest quality capture). Depending on the scene the jumps between shots are spaced 1/3rd to 1EV.
Thanks.
Even though I’m a Macfan,
I’m looking into Essential HDR
in VMware Fusion.
It seems to produce a cleaner
look than Photomatix.
or is it the higher number
of your merged shots ?
Thanks again for your photos.
Chuck, short answer… both.
Long answer. It depends.
Some scenes won’t benefit as much from larger, tighter brackets. Some scenes benefit tremendously by bracketing big and tight and helps with numerous issues such as: noise reduction, color balance/saturation issues and enormous DR scenes.
To answer this fully would require a short book or workshop to fully explore when, why and how to tackle various scenes and the most likely issues you’ll experience with post flow relating to exposure, mixed lighting, etc…
Nothing replaces experience in these cases.
Thanks for taking the time to answer
my questions out of your busy schedule.
I’ve just seen your answers on hdrlabs.com Blog
I’ll be reviewing the promote control
for purchase very soon.
Inspirational work. Thank you for your insight.
