CmpFreak88 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 How the heck do you take HDR pictures? Those don't even look real, those look like video game scenery, haha. Really neat looking though. Must be a nice camera too... I'm just jealous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Im not exactly the best at explaining things, nor do I really know much about it, so heres this is a very good read : http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials...namic-range.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 that's really neat....they don't even look real at first glace. i really like the 2nd one with the side of the building. it really looks like a game. i took a stab at it a minute ago, and the concept works but it doesn't look ANYTHING like what you've shown. how'd you get it to look like that? just the 4 pictures...adding 2 fstop each time? my camera's fstop goes to i think...7.5 or something.

Propane Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Those are amazing! Great work. HDR photos are where you take mutiple exposures that allow different amounts of light in. This gives you a lot of photos, some that are over exposed so the whites are way to bright but you get a lot of detail in the shadows, some the are exposed normally so it looks like a normal picture, and some that are underexposed so shadows are big blobs and and lots of details are in the light. Do you have higher res copies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Yup, Ill upload them later. The thing is though, at full size you can see a lot of blur from the plants such as in the last picture. THat was made with 3 pictures (ISO 400, F5.6) 6sec, 1.6 sec and 25 sec exposure. It was also windy sooo the smaller version looks better.

jammin Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) Yeah, probably easier to do during the daytime so you're not using huge exposure times. They look kinda strange, but in a good way. I assume with your camera if you did it during the day you'd be able to set it up to take several different exposures in quick succession. Were they processed in RAW using PS?

DECwakeboarder Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 If you got higher res ones, one would easily be my new background...nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravix Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 I don't know if your camera supports the RAW format, but if it does you can make an HDR from one exposure and limit the blur induced. Just push the raw file in each direction and export to tiff. As long as you didn't blow your highlights too badly this works very well.
