Mean (HDR)

Three exposure HDR.

The HDR process did not make as big a difference in this one as I thought it would. Yet, there was some noticeable improvement. What really surprised me is that usually when I start out with an ISO 1600 photo, then create a three exposure HDR, the outcome is often unusable because of noise introduced by the HDR process, noise that even a decent noise removal program won't deal with well. This time it worked out well.

But in the end, the outcome was more due to the use of Topaz Adjust then to HDR.

Located at the same restaurant as this one...

St. Sophia Square, Kiev (HDR)

St. Sophia Cathedral is to the left (but not in the picture). St Michael Golden Dome Monastery is to the right (but not in the picture).

This is a panorama created from two images, and an HDR created from three different exposures of those two images.

Lavra Church (HDR)

Three image panorama, then three exposure HDR.

While I've shown the larger buildings in the Lavra complex, there are many smaller buildings, including around 15 churches. This is one of the smaller churches on the Lavra property.
