New experiment today, first picture with standard camera settings (bad light conditions). Second with HDR.

No offense because im sure i couldnt do any better but it just looks like the brightness was turned up. I guess I dont really understand how it works

This photo would have been boring if it weren't for HDR, I love how the water droplets look.

I too am not sure what the fuss of HDR is, this just appears to be digital version of multiple exposure techniques from the days of processed film.

You take a series of pictures of the same subject with different filters and exposures, then combine the results in the dark room.

These days one just uses Photoshop to achieve the same thing - which to me seems to cheapen th efforts of the manual masters

Of course, there is no denying a great photo to begin with makes a greta results, no matter the technique.

Nice HDR pic peter!

Love the fact you can really enjoy all the colours, the hedge, tree, roof and castle!

Anyone use the Automated HDR tool in Photoshop CS2? I keep trying to load multiple exposure images and it says "there is not enough dynamic range to create a useful HDR image".. although I'm am positive these 5 images have enough dynamic range...

edit: Just read that Photoshop analyzes the recorded EXIF exposure data to justify whether or not the photos have a dynamic range. So that means if you want to use CS2 to create HDR photos, you must take multiple shots at different exposure levels rather than using 1 RAW photo and adjusting the exposure levels on the computer.

Or throw the EXIF away by using "save for web".

Thanks for the tip

[dutchmasterflex]

Well, gave it a shot again in CS2 after creating EXIF-less jpegs of the one RAW negative.. Not very happy with the results.. but am eager to perfect this technique.

HDR creation


Next I will try HDR with multiple exposed negatives instead of adjusting one negative.

I usually perform the HDR-action on a new Layer, so I can blend it with the original image. "Lighten" works very good most of the time.

I was using the HDR tool under File>Automate>HDR..

So basically you do it the manual way? I figured that would curb the best results but was hoping some software jockey created some nice piece of code to do it for me

just bought the 400D and thought would be nice to share my first HDR.
here my 535d M.
