This scene doesn’t work very well for the HDR assignment – I also didn’t play with any of the crazy filters because I thought scene was weird enough.
Using the 5D Mk. III built in HDR functionality and the “natural” effect – which I think is no effect/filter. The 5D also includes the Art filters, Standard, Vivid, Bold, and Embossed which drastically changes the HDR image.
This scene I think could have been better for the HDR assignment, but I didn’t have the time or space to setup a tripod in the DPC third floor stairwell. I experimented with many more of the effects in the 5D and choose Art Standard for these photos. I would like to get some of them into the Nik software and play with the same photos there.
