How black and white can be used to its full potential, not for a long time has

a few shots filled me the sense of loneliness and loss, well done Neil 'The Dark One' South.

Gonna go off and do a storm dance to cheer myself up..!!

Nice pics but a bit of overuse of the old "Shadow/Highlight" function in a few of them. Only ever use this tool on the full resolution picture, try increasing the radius of the tool and the mid tone contrast. Also only increase the intensity to the point that YOU can notice its use, then drop it back a bit. It will then be a little less obvious that you have done it.

Neilsouth you have a great sense of atmosphere exuding from your work.

The clouds are so important, the exposure deliberately on the fast side, your work should be shown in a gallery and you should be able to afford a 1 series Canon, for the sake of art at the very least :rolleyes:

I am serious.

Look forward to the next installments :huh:

Which program did you use to do the HDR and how many exposures?

The two I noticed it on were 2 and 6 (the beach shot and the old church shot). In particular with the old church shot, the highlight around the church outline is very obvious and it looks a little faked IMHO. This is a very common problem with using the Shadow/highlight tool in PS, but it can also occur in some HDR merging programs as the program takes a radius to blend the different exposures.

Dont get me wrong, they are really nice pics, just trying to give some constructive criticism :)

I know whats causing the halo's now its not the HDR , its the mode of sharpening i was using on some of the images!. Oh well live n learn :)
