Hi there,
Hope all you regular readers (me and jim) are enjoying the new look of the blog, it will be evolving over time this is just the very very basic look of it just now while we sorted out the sizing to make images look a lot nicer!
Anyway back to my post! Ever since happening upon a photo blog that goes by the name Stuck in Customs I have been fixated on HDR photography. I have tried it before but without much success! It was just luck if it came out decent after running it though the HDR software. But after heading over to Stuck in Customs and checking out Trey's excellent tutorial he has written I have increased the odds of getting a keeper!
Basically the process is you take 3 photos (my D90 only supports 3) that are all exposed differently. It usually goes like this... under exposed 1-stop ---> correct exposure ----> over exposed 1-stop.
This can be changed to +-2 stops depending on the contrast of the light.
These are then merged together in special HDR software and after playing with some sliders and merging and masking in photoshop (read the Stuck in Customs Tutorial) you have the finished product!
Here is one of my attemps! Click the title of this post to check out some more!
