Hi, you said Vertorama and is 10 vertically shot images for blending and stitching... I don't understand and could be mis-intepretation..
Anyway, I can see you are working hard on your images and trying everything... Thats the ways to go and improve and of course we can share and learn... and thanks for sharing as well...

#23 Riverside Point
No bad at all and using 10stops is quite a good idea - on HDR, you have chosen a preset which enhance the wall structure and tonal details which are quite heavy. Very slight halo effect along the top of the building more on the right frame. Try to be close to the original as possible and bring out only the details that the eyes are use to seeing things. 10 stop filter is a good idea but you also need to ask yourself whether the motion on the boats created by 10 stop filter is acceptable and distracting to the viewers. If you really like the smooth water effect and having the all the boats to be still, take another exposure without the 10stop and blend the smooth water later. Is a lot of masking to do but worth it if you want to achieve smooth water with everything still.

#24 Blue MBS
Very nice tone and very well controlled exposure, maybe a little more space on the left to balance up the image.
Happy shooting.......

Firstly i want to thanks you for taking your time to comment and suggestion , will be more be careful with the halo effect in the future , your suggestion on taking another pic for the still boat is a great suggestion , i have never thought of that before

and for the blue mbs picture may be that little bit to the left should be better agree.
Thanks again for dropping by .

#25, good effort but do take note of the glowing buildings.

ease off the HDR a bit.

Hi, your thread shows overall good image taken. The only thing is that little bit here and little bit there. It is actually not necessary for #25 to be HDR. The image already have smooth water and multiple exposures helps you to control certain things in the image.For this shot I will wait a little longer to have more lights from the building and a darker sky. I will also do a longer exposure for more motion clouds which will also make the image more interesting. The stormy clouds have very good potential for strong and fast moving motion.....this is just me and my thoughts..

Great effort though.....

I agree pic25 do not need HDR , a manual blending should be good enough , I. Can't wait til later cause my main aim is to do a panorama of the few color block at blue hour , your suggestion is definitely right , once again I have to thanks you for your comment and suggestion.

I think there is some barrel distortion on the left. IMHO the HDR here is too strong. Which software are you using for HDR?

You got sharp eye , yes is definitely is barrel distortion , thanks for pointing it out , I use photomatix HDR software , I don't think is the software problem , but more to me is the problem , I am the one who control how to pic look. The fault is with me .

Not sure what u use for processing, i rarely touch tone mapping. Normally use exposure fusion and even so the results is often not desirable.

photomatix brings certain amount of distortion to the picture after the alignment process, depending on how much % you set it to, and if there are movements during the bracketing process...

i don have specific way of processing . will try tone mapping, fusion , sometime i create 3 different type of hdr , even black and white hdr , than i blend all three in photoshop.
