It might be to do with the fact hat you are holding a big turd....

3 exposures - fused

 

Not a quality lens. Have to apologise for the lens flare artifacts which kind of ruin the photo

 

 

to the lower forms of photo takers ... what do you mean by fused ?

HDR 'High Dynamic Range' .... In basic terms, the same shot at a number of frames, each with a different exposure. These are then layered upon one another (like with transparencies) in photoshop or dedicated HDR software, which gives the image a surrealistic exposure or in ponce speak, a high dynamic range across the exposure and tonal range.

 

Hope that helps meneer

HDR also gets mentioned in Super_Mil's graph about 10 pages back about where you fall as a photographer in terms of abilities both real and perceived. I am clueless about photo-shopping a single image, no ways am I ready to do multiple overlays yet.

Swartkops - pity I missed it. However, I see your Mustang and raise you two Sea Furies from Reno (apologies for the crummy scan from film).

Yeah, that's pretty much it. That particular photo was shot early morning when the light wasn't too great yet, straight into the sun. If I expose to get the detail in the clouds right, then the brushes in the foreground is pretty much black with no detail. If I expose to get the foreground right, then the light is so bright and blown out that you cannot even see that there's clouds. The solution is to take 2-4 photos (on a tripod obviously so the composition stays exactly the same - although you get some intelligent software now that even allows to handhold HDR photo sets to be merged to a degree). For each shot you only focus on getting the exposure for a particular area correct; so only the sky in one, only the foreground in another etc. Then, when get home, you basically fuse (either manually, or using HDR software which can sometimes give overly weird results) only the correctly exposed parts of each photo into one image, usually with the result that it has that "HDR look".

 

Pretty sweet, but not to be overdone to boredom.
