Honestly couldn't believe my eyes when i was lucky enough to get this shot, Taken at 3 different exposures to try burn in the colour of the cloud and sky.

Hello mate, have you tried the merge to HDR in Photoshop? Might work well for this.

Must have been something in the air last night, after a day that was as grim as they come and an early taste of winter. I was taking a hot bath to get some heat in my bones when I noticed the room turn a very vivid orange form the light coming in the window. It was cosy in that bath but the light coming in the window needed investigation. Glad I did as I was greeted by this.....

Has to be the best sky I've seen this year. This image is not re-touched other than taking out some noise in the shadows.

In my 7 years working with Photoshop the 1 thing i hate more than anything else is HDR, For some reason i just honestly can't be arsed with it

I prefer to leave my photos completely untouched, Hence why none of the images that have come off my camera are re-touched in any way

Some of the HDR images I have seen do look awful. Like cartoons almost.

I tried making a HDR image of this mummy I took a picture of the other day but it didn't work out but I have seen some professional images using HDR techniques that do look much better. I thought the technique might help with a dark image to take some of the noise out of the shadows.
