wow... i gotta get the hang of trying to HDR process pictures.
this is simulated HDR only 1 pic actually taken at sunset
Shooting at sunset proves difficult since you only get a time frame of 20min.
it was hard to get appropriate lighting in since i only had 1 sb-600 speedlight to work with and no reflectors.

Comments and critiques strongly recommended. Im a newbie when it comes to strobes, so im all ears :)



Without further Adieu.

Great strobing.
The light is perfect to give the foreground (you) great detail, while keeping the shutter speed open enough to get the background (the sky) all crisp and clear.
Nicely done!

Very well done!!!

I like the light in it a lot and making my eyes shift
from the handstand into the background with the sky and then back again.

I have absolutely no idea why you bothered making this into a "HDR" image. What exatly was the point?


Also, it's "without further ado", not "without further adieu".

I chose to make this into an HDR because i wanted to see how HDRs would turn out in a dusk-landscape light strobed shot. It was my first attempt making an HDR so I am still learning the applications of using them.
