They look highly stylized or just oversaturated. I'm looking to wind up with vivid, realistic color and detail in all parts of the image, not make them look like The Wizard of Oz.

Photoshop of course, also Topaz, Imagenomic, Lucis? I love most of your photographs, except those that are oversaturated, blasting with color that look unreal. Anyway, this is just my personal opinion. I am wondering what other software you are using for post-processing. Photoshop of course, also Topaz, Imagenomic, Lucis?

I don't like a lot of tonemapped images, but yours are nice. I still see a little bit of the haloing around the boat but it's not bad. I’m glad I followed you on twitter, you have some awesome shots.

The background details are garishly over saturated and the boat details against the sky have an "embossed" look. That is the halo effect you warn against, is it not? I like this image but feel it would be better if processed more traditionally in this case. Just my 2¢! Please keep up your great site and sharing.

I can't remember if I selected the CA correction option (I believe I did after seeing the effects). This shot (http://jamiepang.smugmug.com/photos/754424715_cFtnT-L.jpg) was OK but the HDR pano is terrible especially where the branches overlaid with the sky. You can see the HDR pano (16 frames) here (http://jamiepang.smugmug.com/photos/754424137_wzYTi-L.jpg) . And my friends' movement made the results a bit awkward too. Looking fwd to Pt3 then!

Do you use one image or a series of images to make an HDR. Photomatix has built in CA reduction but will only use it if you give it a series of images and not just the one.

The colors are great. I remember walking this same waterfront briefly a couple years ago and thinking it was an interesting spot. Also, I just recently used Noiseware for the first time as well and I agree, it's fantastic. Nice shot! The colors are great.

I had considered adding an "all other things remaining equal" sentence when introducing EV, in the spirit of no one else picking up on this it's now been added :) Part 3 should be up in the first week of the new year - there's a little matter of celebrations first:) Glad you’re interested Glenn :)

And I've been holding off buying Photoshop because I really want CS5 :/ I may have to give in though. And just to nit-pick a little on your explanation of EV. "If you increase your ISO, you increase the EV"; assuming you're on manual mode and all other values stay the same. If you're on shutter or aperture priority, the camera will usually adjust the other values to try and keep the exposure the same. *really* keen for part 3 of this tutorial now, as I’ve been using the HDR plugin for Aperture to do my HDR and the results aren’t nearly as impressive as yours.
