| Photomatix tone mapping of a single Nikon RAW file. I haven't used the Photomatix software for over a year so downloaded the latest version (3.1.2).
I prefer a minimal HDR effect where you can't tell if it's been tone mapped. The results with default Photomatix values look a lot smoother and realistic than prior versions of the software. However the trade-off is a far noisier base image than the original RAW file. Captured 16 November 2008 | Nikon D300 + Nikkor 18-70mm F3.5-4.5G ED | f22 @ 1 sec. |
