Graeme's Shed

[Brian]

They do say, that people have gone into Graeme's Shed and never come out!

I haven't done many HDRs before and don't really know what I am doing. This was in Photoshop HDR.

I love that Brian ...it's just the perfect format for that image ... You could spend hours looking at the details in this hoarders paradise ....heheh.

You could make a competition out of it ... Like ...   Find the  sheep shearers..or the packet of  Lawn trimmer lines...   ( they are there !)

I like HDR  when used judiciously... Did you merge 3 or more images or use the filter on it's own ?

[Brian]

Thanks, Polly. I used 4 images. First at the proper exposure and 2 progressively darker, then just for luck one slightly over exposed. Did the HDR thing and then back into Camera Raw and PhotoShop for a quick twiddle. Voila!

Secretly, I'm bloody pleased with it.

ps. If I give you Graeme's email address, will you tell him where the sheep shears are, he's been looking for them for months.

     Brilliant Brian ....just brilliant  I love it . It will appeal to a lot of the members on here .... I haven't laughed so much since Lord Korky caught his braces on the revolving doors at Harrods !!!

JEEZ! Brian.........On first look I though someone had sneaked a pic of my shed,...........I'm so pleased that mine isn't the only one.

A beautiful bit of photography and post processing.......A Gold Star from me.

G'day Mr Fuji...  It  is a Gold star pic isn't it ... He should sell it to a jigsaw manufacturer!!

Grief, Brian!  Him indoors has a shed like that, and he's slowly working on the cellar. When he wants help with a computer problem, he has to clear up his study so that I can get to his machine

Is it a man thing?

 

I do like your image though

Thanks for the kind comments, Folks and "Yes", Judy it is a Man thing. They don't call them Man Caves for nothing. Women tend to try tidying them up so you can't find a bloody thing and so are barred!

Great stuff Brian, I do like the image.

That is a proper ManShed, I have a friend who has one similar. On occasion I pop round and we sit and sample one of his home brewed ales and put the world to rights.

Thanks, Ron.

It's amazing how the world's problems just go away when you're in the Cave with a good friend and a home brew in each hand!

[Korky]

That one really appeals to me, too, Brian - I'm finding it hard to stop looking for stuff.

The HDR treatment is just about spot-on - it's so easy to over cook HDR, but you've given it just the right amount of twiddling.

P.S. - It wasn't Harrods, it was Abdul's Pound Universe in Great Malvern. I caught the Click Lady slumming it and she made up the braces story just to humiliate me.

Well done on this one Brian - good treatment of a great subject!

Really ....Lord K.  ( said with an indignant air ...)..

All  I was doing was trying to save your blushes  by changing the place and the cause ..and give what seemed a more legitimate reason to explain why you didn't know whether you were coming or going that day we met...and as I recall it was a Charity shop where I was dropping off clothes that I had cleared out of my  other half's wardrobe ...

Sorry Brian ...

I am not sure about this one Brian. I think maybe the HDR processing has flattened the image a little. Maybe some more contrast would help? I think the HDR processing has amplified chromatic aberration on the right side of the shot. I would normally remove any nuisance CA prior to pushing the images through the HDR software. I always like an HDR image when you cannot tell the processing method? For me this has just gone slightly too far? This is only my opinion mind you. There are some shots that really suit a heavy HDR process though.    A nice effort, and its great to try these things out.

Nice one, Brian.
