HDR with no overdone effect

@jacksonzche

is there more than one frame in that file?

No, it is a single frame chosen out of nine bracketed shots.

My take with darktable agx build from here: Blender AgX in darktable (proof of concept) - #1817 by priort

I’m not entirely sure what I was going for here.

Hi @Leniwiec

Nice photo and a very odd looking building. Did it get damaged in a fire at some point?

I had a not wholly successful go at brightening both the sky and the overall image in DT5.3 with AGX and some masked colour mangling.

Hello, Terry!
Thank you for your input.

As far as I know, the church has never been damaged by fire - it is just quite old, being built around 1300 A.D.

There are plenty of such structures where I live (Poland, Europe), e.g. in my hometown:
Virtual tour - Cathedral Basilica in Pelplin

darktable version:

i personally don’t like it nearly as much as a version i did in a few min in a propriatary raw editor:

but i’m not even sure if i’m even allowed to post that version (please tell me if i shouldn’t do that i’m quite new to this forum) i obviously did else it wouldn’t’ve been here and i did use it as a preview for the darktable version. the darktable version i like on 1 area more than the other one and that’s the small wall in the foreground

Generally we are not interested in this type of thing, especially if you’re not going to elaborate on what you like about it and what you did to achieve it.

Hi @Leniwiec

Thanks! I only ask because the part between the buttresses looks comparatively new, as though it had been rebuilt; but I suppose that’s true for a lot of churches. Quite a few over here in the UK have sections that were built perhaps 6 or 700 years apart

Thanks for the link, too. What an incredible building!

@Terry_Dooher

looks comparatively new

Oh, that’s entirely possible. I have just learned that at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, two side naves were added.
