I'll probably do that once I'm more proficient!

I think I prefer the first one due to the brighter colors.

May I ask what HDR is?

Yup, the first one is brighter. I may have messed with the color . . .

Of course, you can ask! HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. The camera varies the exposure over a series of 4 shots and combines them into a single image.

These were not ideal for this application as there wasn't enough variety in the photos. Not enough sun and shade, for example.
I do have things to learn!

So talented in very many ways.. Thank you for sharing your art..

You can bet I will continue to share!

That's what got me back into photography in a big way about seven years ago. I could never understand why my skies were always washed out with digital photography. Finally a friend turned me onto Snapseed and HDR.

Nice shots dear Peggy. Have fun.

Thanks for your kind words!

The second one looks flaming hot to me, like it would burn a finger if we touched it!
Wow!
Nice to see some lovely orange that isn’t triggering.
Many thanks for sharing.

I'm pleased that you liked these!

They're really not very good, but those were my very first attempts at this sort of photo.

I will get better!

You inspire me!

...i probably should do that when i get a chance.

It's always great to see people I know on those websites.
