HDR Photography, an unbelievable myths!
Many times you see a nice views and of course you take a picture! The result is often not nearly being the magical scene you have seen. Why? Because our eyes are very adaptive to a wide range of intensity of the true world, but the chip in camera is not that. How many f-stops is the human eye capable of perceiving? Science tells us that the comparison has a lack, but a best scientific statement would be to say 24, but a digital camera can capture a vivid area about 6 to 9 f-stops at best.
For quite a long time we have tried to expand the dynamic range of our photographic work. Nowadays, technique which has been developed is HDR photography.
The HDR(High Dynamic Range) imaging is a set of technollogies that has been developed in the latest 10 years to surmount the limitations of electronic devices by merging multiple exposures into a dynamic image. Different from it's antecedents of film, HDR photgraphy, like other aspects of Post processing is able to be done with the computer. It's good for use and somewhat user-friendly. It is able to be achived by any routine that allows the stacking of layers which have an acculturative transparency. But it will also be done with certain HDR softwre that concentrate on this one process. These are absorbing softwares. They merge the images with different exposures, and by analysing the pigments, often take out detail that would otherwise be lost.
Then how to create HDR images?
First, you need to take the photos. Because you are going to create a high-dynamic-range image, it makes a very good deal of sense for you to set your camera so that it shoots your photos in your camera's RAW type. This is because the RAW format catches more magical range information than is available in the alternative, the JPEG file. It also offers you lots of color temperature latitude -- you are able to set the color temperature of all of your pictures in an very easy way after that. You need to set the camera to manual exposure mode, too. Tripod your camera so that it will not move, then compose the view you want to shoot. Nearly all of the HDR softwares need photographers to take at least 3 photos of the same viewwith multiple exposures. Okay, so you have your three (or more)! Load the pictures from your camera onto your computer. Done? Done. Now, how to use these photos to create a new and magical HDR image? Simple! Most of the HDR softwares have an easy guide for you to add the pictures. Then combining them with the software to a high dynamic image. The final thing is to tone-map the HDR file then users will be able to see the result in the screen, print it, show it on the website and enjoy.
