HDR – filter. Do you use it?
Employing it with some photos in my library did not work. Subjects looked over bleached, or suddenly developed a halo, however it did successfully bring out the features that were normally darkened. The image I have chosen, came alive with the HDR effect in Picasa, even if it wasn’t an entirely natural effect. I felt like the snow was suddenly within my reach.
Photo 1: Without HDR filter
It certainly brings out the features that I wanted in the photograph. I am quite happy with this although, I did have to find try a few before I reached this point.
Thanks for the challenge, from weliveinaflat and Meghan from Firebonnet.
In another photo that I almost used, the mountains were better defined, with the HDR filter, but it wasn’t the best photo choice.
Some photo effects to ponder about
Something to Ponder About 
It certainly makes the snow glisten, but agree with you that the effect can be tempered down a little so that it looks more natural. Not sure if picasa allows you to do that though so I don’t use Picasa myself 😉 Thanks for checking out the previous weeks’ topics as well!

I just love the HDR affect in the photo with the snow. It really gave a three dimensional feel to the image. Snow is really hard to photograph in the grey light but it popped out with the filter. 😀

Yes I thought so too. It always validates my thought when someone else thinks so too.
