One from Fountains Abbey

Here's one from what I think we all thought was a particularly challenging day. Because of the harsh light I decided to have a bash at a few HDR shots. This was three images. -2, 0, +2.

Was a top day and thoroughly enjoyed it !

C&C more than welcome.



Camera: 40D
Exposure: 0.6, 1/25, 1/6
Aperture: f16
Focal Length: 20 mm
ISO Speed: 100

This image portrays the benefit of HDR very well, in that there is detail visible in the places where there would be dark shadows.

The first thing I noticed was a vertical mark or could be a dust bunny on the top left corner above the first inner arch. No doubt your image suffered the dreaded halos after HDR processing and this brings me to the second thing I noticed in which the sky colour tone changes between the second and third arches. Regarding composition, I might have been tempted to crop off a little from the top to just below the short vertical part of the building. Otherwise, well done. Looks a nice place to visit.
