This is where you combine multiple exposures that capture the full exposure of the scene, using Photoshop CS or a program like Photomatix. It can give some excellent results when used with care, or some very odd ones too!
See http://www.flickr.com/groups/hdr/ for examples.
Has anyone here tried it, and with what success? Any top tips?
Feel free to post examples here for comment (Use the 'Add Attachment' bit below, 500 pixels max is all you need)
If we get a good response I'll set up an HDR gallery and copy them there.

I've just started using Photomatix Pro and have a submitted one (reasonably normal) print to the Member's Exhibition 2009 and another (slightly weird) DPI to the 'Digital Challenge 2009' of the Digital Group.
I've only seen one or two HDR images at the EPS in 2008-2009. Do you think people are not using the technique much or are people a bit sniffy about it. For example, one judge recently remarked that he couldn't "see why people just don't expose properly in the first place".

There have been some HDR images put in, from me and Duncan Smith for a start, but we both like to use the technique to get the dynamic range while still looking entirely natural. A lot of people don't use it just because they don't know how or haven't managed to get good enough results with it. For competitions, it is a gamble to use an HDR image that looks surreal - the judge might just hate it!
I certainly think that it is a technique that has great potential, but still prefer to get it right in camera using careful RAW exposure(s), perhaps bracketed and selectively blended using layers, and balancing exposure where possible with ND grads. Probably because I haven't mastered it well, I find it difficult to get natural looking results from straight HDR and usually end up selectively blending some of the exposures in layers after anyway. Duncan Smith is very good at HDR- come along to his talk at the Digital Group this Monday. |
