Eyes can pick up details in deep shadow and significantly brighter areas from any given scene simultaneously. HDR high dynamic range photography is a technique that involves capturing multiple images of the same scene using different exposure values. Then the images are combined into a single image representing the full range of tonal values within the scene.
Instead of just taking one photo, HDR photography uses three photos or five, seven, or more taken at different exposures. If colors and shadows in a scene seem too busy or difficult to capture in one photograph, HDR imaging is the solution. Multiple photos captured with varying exposure values is the best way to get the various tones in the scene. Then, special software processes those images, interpreting the result to create an image that contains far more detail than is possible with a single photograph with one exposure.
Use HDR Photography for any shooting situations with tricky lighting conditions. HDR is used outdoors with various degrees of light and shadow. Use HDR indoors when natural and artificial light competes to highlight an interior space. Here are some ways to try HDR photography:. HDR is perfect for landscape photography.
Landscape scenes are often high contrast, with the foreground much darker than the sky. The best times for an HDR shoot are at dawn, early in the morning, or when the sun has set. HDR also works well when photographing a shaded subject against a bright sky. If photographing an object in direct sunlight, dark shadows are likely to be cast within the scene.
Real estate photographers often find themselves working in very challenging conditions. Property exterior or interior is easy to shoot because they are static subjects.
However, photography can be challenging concerning what lighting looks best in a scene. HDR photography allows photographers to get details in both highlights and shadows by combining several images into one final image during post-production.
While the mechanics of taking HDR photos is different for both an iPhone and digital camera, the results of several images merging into one HDR image are the same.
Blurred edges or images occur from movement. Why you ask? When you capture one exposure at a given set of settings Exposure Values on the exposure triangle you are recording data within that given range. When you capture three or more images at different exposures EV , then those three images are all going to have different levels of data from which you can pull; allowing for a truly high dynamic range photograph.
Use HDR only when you need it IE: when the light range of your scene is too large to capture in a single exposure. Some people use HDR for every photograph they take. As some of you may know, HDR photography is a big part of what I do. So many of these list posts are full of poor examples of HDR photography. Maybe not to the untrained eye, but certainly to an avid HDR enthusiast. It seems that the extent of these authors involvement in the world of HDR is the time it took to scour the web to create a post for it.
I thought I would do something a little different. I spend pretty much every day of my life in the HDR community. I am pretty picky about the images I will share with others. Below are a few examples of absolute spot on HDR images from around the world, and all from different photographers. These images at least in my opinion represent a handful of the best work the HDR community has to offer.
Every image was carefully hand picked for excellence in processing and composition.
