affinity photo Quantum Leap HDR

[John Rostron]

We visited Shrewsbury in mid-September, so the sun was fairly low as well as bright. This meant that there was a strong contrast between the lit areas and shadows.

The four images were merged using Affinity's HRD stack, then the final image straightened to set the far roof horizontally. I think that the merge has been very successful apart, perhaps, from my wife, who must have moved slightly between shots.

The subject was a sculpture called 'Quantum Leap' which celebrated Shrewsbury's connection with Charles Darwin, who was born there. I have to say that, even when wearing my hat as an evolutionary biologist (retired), I was not too clear as to the connection.

The bicycle belonged to another photographer of the sculpture!

Wow,, NICE shot...

THAT is how HDR should look,, clear & clean,,, not 'cartoonish' or oversaturated in crazy amounts of colour...

Thanks for sharing xx
