I started with this image, which was exposed for the sky:
I liked the sky but wanted to bring up the foreground, so I ran it through Perfect Effects 8 HDR and dynamic range effects to get this:
It helped some, but not enough, so I did the same thing again to the image I had just processed:
The sky is starting to look a little weird, but I run the image through the same process again:
The sky looks just plain wrong to me now, but I like how I can see some of the lighter details on the building; it's more like what my eye was seeing when I took the shot.
I think I would like the sky from the second or third version and the building and foreground from the last version, but I don't know how to get there from here.
So: suggestions? (I know, "Don't quit your day job.") Comments?
Feel free to grab any of the versions and mess with them.
Cheers, Jock
