HDR, bracketing, tone mapped Have we been there yet?
Hi Guys/Gals.
Have we had a 'HDR' thread here on this forum yet? Or 'bracketing'? 'Tone map'?
What's HDR? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_imaging
Bracketing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracketing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_mapping

You either like HDR/Tone mapping or not. I think there is a place for it when treated with restraint. I mostly just 'bracket'. Some cameras will have the ability to take a set of bracketed photo's
Some pics I've done.

Here are a couple of lightly HDR/Tone mapped images.

We have some crafty photographers here mate but not a dedicated HDR thread. There is a couple of photo threads floating around but go nuts I should learn this stuff and invest in a half decent camera!!!

AB, there is even an app or two floating around for smart phones also.
You can do it with a basic old SLR camera without 'bracketing' capability but you do need the program Photomatix http://www.hdrsoft.com/ ($100) or photoshop (ugh, at $700 odd bucks!)

Ive actually got the full adobe cs3 and use photoshop all the time for masking images and cropping but never used it for this type of thing.

I use HDR on my iPhone all the time. It really makes a difference to the shadowed area's in photos. Here's one I took of Lake George. As you say, you either like it or you don't. Personally I don't see what's not to like.

Thanks, that one actually broke my DSLR. I was taking a 3 bracketed shot of the fly trap and on the final photo something went boing, zip and snap and then I had no DSLR. Sent it away but they wanted more to fix it than it cost to buy another one so I took the chance to upgrade.
