You sometimes have an idea in his head and seems easy carry out, the reality tells otherwise. Some time ago I did the idea of making a Vitruvian Man, and this weekend carry it out. The first was, where to set the stage, the second as to place the camera as high as possible for making up. After this, try to focus from above the place where I was going to put me to this place a lump and set the focus and exposure. With all that soon as, the idea was to take three photos of -2 to 2 EV in a position and three photos from -2 to 2 EV in the other position. Therefore use the remote control of my camera, shoot with a delay of 2 seconds and return to the position. The process: First try to upload six photos in Photomatix with selective deghosting taking the upper and lower extremities of one or the other.The result was disastrous, was not as easy as it seemed. The other way that I had: was processed in Photomatix, three in a position on one side, and three in the other position separately. Resolved tonemaping I were two photos, one for each position. I opened the two photos in Photoshop, as layer, take one as a basis, eraser discovered the extremities of the different position. All that was outside the pool table left over and take it away. I realized that in the frame, the left hand of the position with the horizontal arms was cut. Therefore, I extended the canvas, copy the other left hand, rotate and fit into the shirt cuff of the hand cut. Finally had to solve the problem of background for it takes a picture of the true Vitruvian Man and with Nik Software, converted to effect of infrared and place behind the subject.

Your Real Name must be Ricardo Da Vinci. The image itself is Not Perfect by ANY Means. Grainy in spots,some noise, very sharp in areas,not sharp in others. For these reasons I cannot give a 10. However I would give you a 110% on Effort to try an pull this

I like to reward people who show originality and take risks. The process is probably an 8 from an HDR view point but a plus 2 for being original and taking the risk. I like to take risks as well.
