hmmm, are the background mountains sharper, and the color more saturated?

So I've been fucking around with faking HDR since my camera doesn't have the capability of doing burst shots with different exposure times. I've found a few faux HDR photoshop techniques and honestly, what I feel is the best outcome is the most simple tutorial I have found. Below are the before and after pictures. Opinions?

You can usually tell the difference between real HDR and faux. I'm actually quite good at doing it, but I refuse to let one of the faux ones touch my gallery, really. Just doesn't seem genuine enough. Most of my own touch-ups are always mild, nothing too drastic usually. I'll send ya a good tutorial of it.

Beautiful Kevin! I love the lonely purple droplet.

 

[Cat5Messiah]

That's pretty awesome, Kevin.

Thanks man. I just remembered I did this. I didn't post it because I thought I may use it as a sig someday, but honestly I unfortunately forgot about it until I saw this thread bumped

btw those are water drops on the Karate Kid dvd that Russell sent me for Secret Santa last year that came from the outside of a beer can that had just been sitting on top of it.

Shit like that wants me to get something better than a $100 Samsung digital camera.

[Cat5Messiah]

Wow. That's not even a high-end camera, is it? I must just suck at photography.

That makes you mine and Cara's camera-buddy!

 

[Shpongled]

We've discussed this, knee grow

 

[El Stormo]

I thought we all needed to be reminded.

 

[Captain Beard]

I also have this camera homeslice.

Have you ever considered taking a close-up picture of the water droplets from a beer can on something shiny and stupid and pointless like a DVD case before? Try something like that. Just something so weird and outlandish that it seems preposterous to even consider. Take a picture of that.

edit: from a weird angle.
