Hyde Park Sydney and Aurora HDR Pro

Just purchased Aurora HDR Pro. This  photo editing software has been developed by Macphun and renowned HDR photographer Trey Ratcliffe. I have gradually got more interested in shooting HDR photography, love the results of HDR on the I Phone 6 Plus. What I am not keen on is overdone HDR, which to me does not look real or appealing and Aurora allows you complete control over this. So there are three points that appeal to me about Aurora HDR Pro, they are:-

The ability to have complete control over your HDR look, the fact that the whole HDR process can be done in Aurora without having to go into Photoshop or Lightroom and a single image can be easily processed without having to always worry about bracketing your exposures especially when movement is involved. I would still recommend though using Lightroom to keep an organised workflow and archive.

The Archibald Fountain with a rainbow passing through it late afternoon and the Hyde Park Walkway early morning are my first photos to be processed in Aurora. The world of Instagram, Nik Software and On One Software to name a few, allow everyone to be more creative.

Archibald Fountain
A rainbow passes through the Archibald Fountain, Hyde Park, Sydney. It is named afer J.F. Archibald, owner and editor of The Bulletin magazine, who arranged to have it built by French artist Francois-Léon Sicard. It was unveiled in Sydney in 1932.
