Cherhill

This is the Cherhill White Horse, cut into the landscape below Oldbury Castle earthwork in 1780.

I'm afraid my first attempts at using HDR on the camera with a tripod were a failure. All but this one were too badly blurred to use. I think the problem must have been caused by the pressing of the shutter, so next time I will have to find out how to use a time delay.

I was looking to avoid the super-real cartoon look of some HDR images and merely to extend the dynamic range of the image to more closely replicate the human eye than is normally possible with a camera lens, but I can't see anything in this image that a single exposure couldn't have achieved.

Oh well, just a first attempt. Back to the drawing board. Wish I'd taken some standard shots while I was there.
