These are really good HDRs for being handheld. I must admit, I have never tried hand-holding a shot for HDR. You have given me a new tool to work with. Thanks!
Barry, do you get this grainy effect with photomatix or something else. I see it in quite of few of your photos.
Thanks Patrick and Shirley!
Patrick - My use of "handheld" is a little misleading. I use it to mean I didn't use a tripod. I may however of used a shelf or tabletop or some other flat surfact at the location in conjunction with my camera's timer! I just call it handheld because my memory is good enought to remember that I didn't set up a tripod for the shot but not good enough to remember if I used a surface and timer!
Shirley - I hadn't noticed that these shots were grainy. I'll have to remember to check out the full resolution versions to see if I see what you are asking about.
Cheers!
Barry
