HDR Photography




HDR photography is like drawing with light. HDR photography is used for taking pictures and you can take 3 or more pictures with different exposure levels. The thing i like about HDR photography is that we can create our own picture. Our own edited picture that we make our selfs. The thing I dislike about it is how long it takes to change the exposure. When you take pictures for an HDR picture, you try not to move the camera too much, or try not to move the subject. Although, when you take to long to change the exposure, you might move the camera a bit.

To create a HDR picture, it takes quiet a few steps. You'll need 7 pictures with different exposure levels. When you have that, you'll need to use Photoshop. Then go to File>Automate>Merge To HDR Pro>Browse, then choose your 7 photos to use. Then play with the effects 'till you get what you want. This is just a guess but, I think HDR is different then automatic HDR functions because you get to take the pictures your self.

When we started with our HDR pictures, my first thought was, it has to be surrealistic and it has to meet the expectations. So when I started with my experiment I tried to make it look surrealistic. Although I could see a lot of ghosts in the picture, I tried to work with it. I played with the settings and I got what I got. I worked hard on this project.
