Meteora is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, near the town of Trikala.
In greek, meteora means "suspended in the air".
They consist of unique rock formations. The rocks are massive, solid and usually very steep. They were inhabited by monks around year 1000 AD.
Today there are 7 monasteries in operation.
For obvious reasons, they are a famous rock climbing field.
Wikipedia entry
I forgot to mention that #1 and #2 are HDR. The second is also handheld. |

I like very much the composition in your first two landscape images!
but alas I can not say the same about the HDR. I just can't get myself to like it, I find the images to lack the depth of blacks and to have lost the Zeiss microcontrast on their way to HDR.
In the second one, some rocks appear brighter to me than the mid-tone clouds.
I wish I could see these shots without HDR, with normal processing and just a little fill light or highlight recovery if needed. I'm sure they will look great. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I can understand why you do not like HDR.
I had some second thoughts myself, so I have the second one ready.
My concern was the loss of sharpness and definition due to small camera movements.
I guess you also worry about HDR destroying the "character" of the lens.
You may be right.
So, here it is. The difference is not so great as in other situations.
#2 without HDR (only shadows-highlights adjustment)

What laptop? Perhaps you mean what software?
Anyway, I have a Macbook Pro (early 2008 model, 2.5GHz).
The software is Photomatix.
HDR is not so demanding in terms of processing power.
Panorama stitching can be a monster... |

I like it much better, Nikos, because the sky now is more luminous than the rocks, which it's how it ought to be!
I personally would lower even more the fill light. Doesn't matter if you lose a bit of detail in the rocks; you will gain more solidity by letting them be a bit more darker.
Lowering the fill light will improve microcontrast and saturation. _________________ Orio, Administrator

It may be the laptop monitor or it may be my color blindness, but I do not see such a big difference between the two versions.
Anyway, I trust you
If the HDR version didn't come out nice, it is probably my fault.
There are about 200 parameters in this program and I use it
only from time to time ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

Nikos, it's easy to spot the difference, put the two pictures side by side: in the HDR picture there seems to be a huge flash illuminating the rocks from the camera position; in the normal picture, the light seems to emanate from the sky (as it does). This is why the first image seems unreal and the second image seems realistic. _________________ Orio, Administrator

OK.
Do you find this one natural?
EDIT: I think I have found an issue here. In my browser the colors are significantly different than in my viewing program (Preview on Mac).
Both contrasgt and saturation drop significantly. Is the upload mechanism altering the image, even if not resizing it?
EDIT 2: I am using Adobe RGB color. But Safari and Firefox are supposed to know about color profiles... I will also upload an sRGB version to compare them. Are they different?
Adobe RGB
sRGB

Meteora is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, near the town of Trikala.
In greek, meteora means "suspended in the air".
They consist of unique rock formations. The rocks are massive, solid and usually very steep. They were inhabited by monks around year 1000 AD.
Today there are 7 monasteries in operation.
For obvious reasons, they are a famous rock climbing field.

I forgot to mention that #1 and #2 are HDR. The second is also handheld. |
