Fake (Pseudo) HDR
I have been playing with a program that produces fake (pseudo) HDR's from a single jpeg exposure. This is a shot of the Cisco, Utah post office 84515. Looks like the sky is pretty grainy. I think I will have to play with it some more...but it is a fun little program to mess with and is pretty fast to work with.

What a cool location. What program did you use? This is processed pretty well and I think after a couple minor tweaks, maybe to fix the slight halo over the canopy roof, the sky grain and cloning that black spot on the upper right edge of the frame, it should be good to go. Nicely done!

Thanks Joshua.....that is what I was looking for....constructive critique. Here is the link to that site about this program PseudoHDR I think in the left hand column you can down load a trial version to play with of it.

Are you trying to create "photo art" or create a realistic image? If the latter, i'd avoid using this program.

Very cool image. I do agree with Stan that it looks a little too processed.

Personally I like it!
