on dirait une peinture, j'aime bien l'effet de voile donné par le soleil couchant et l'humidité :).

Philippe Stoop, on July 19, 2007, said:

Merci Charlotte, mais tu sous-estimes mon courage : c'était un lever de soleil, et non un coucher :-) Je suis toujours prêt à sacrifier une grasse matinée si la lumière est belle ! Santi Bello, Charlotte's comment answers your question : it was a misty morning with a very soft light, there is no HDR. I've never tried HDR, but it seems to be an interesting technique. Do you know a good freeware for this?

santi bcn, on July 20, 2007, said:

Hi Philippe, I've seen some photos here retouched with HDR and the results are spectacular, although sometimes too exaggerated. If you have Photoshop CS2 it is supposed to be support HDR. You can download Photomatix Basic 1.2 from HDRSoft It is supposed to be freeware, I've just played only a little with it and I cannot tell you my opinion yet. BTW: without HDR the photo is even more meritorious.

Philippe Stoop, on July 20, 2007, said:

Thanks Santi Bello ! I only have Photoshop Elements, but maybe it's a good reason to change to CS2. As regards panoramio's HDR pictures, I agree with you : generally it's not very subtle... but I changed my mind when I saw Busa Péter's HDR photos. I don't think I will use it much for digital shots, but it might be interesting to scan contrasted slides.

If you find the balance point.... HDR photos are great. Norbert MAIER's photos are great too.
