HDR Shot's
HDR Shot's
Tried out HDR pics this weekend, HDR is a technique by which you take 1 perfectly exposure picture, 1 under and 1 over exposed by usually + or - 2 F-stops.
Then using some HDR software you merge all 3 images and then tone map the one image. This gives a more realistic picture and is a lot closer to what the human eye see's.
This is the "perfectly" exposed picture;
This is the same picture but in HDR;
Feel free to add your own!

I don't agree, i think the second pic is definitely more what the eye would see, the colours are as you'd see them, the bright sky makes the rest of the garden too dark and doesn't capture the colours in the garden. They are slightly exaggerated but still more what the human eye would see.M@Turner wrote:The second picture looks awesome! Quite spooky sky with vivid colours!!!
As for it looking more like what the human eye would....i'd say it didn't! First picture looks more realistic!
hmm, maybe you're right! But when you look at something like that, you take everything in as a whole, the colours of the sky, roof, fence all effect how the other looks! If you blanked out the effect of the other colours on the fence for example, thats prbably how the fence's colour would look!!!
Do think the blue sky is slightly OTT. Sure i aint seen sky that deep blue!

the second one definately brings out the colours more & the sky looks really cool, you should try taking a photo of your car, it may make the reflections of the sky look sweet!!! but its definately not more 'realistic'
take the same photo of your car & see what it looks like, that will be well interesting....

I use a Fuji S5600. Just set the camera up to take 3 shots using bracketing which will take 3 shots at -2, 0 and +2 exposure. You can also do it manually using the Aperture priority setting.h4r1s wrote:that looks wicked mate, how is it done? with an SLR i'm guessing
Will try some of the car as soon as i can!
