Pronutro Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Wow Do you freelance? No. Just for fun. But I have considered it
Pronutro Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) 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 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. Edited June 2, 2011 by Pronutro
Caerus Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 This thread really makes me want to learn more about my camara, and not just use automatic setting most of the time.
Wyatt Earp Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 I thought I would post something cycling related. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/5790284801_f50166f177_b.jpgVint14 by OddPix1, on Flickr

patham Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 pantham, that must be the alaskan Fjords. Looking forward to doing a cruise along those things one day Close, those are my New Zealand lakes & fjord pics. Will post some of my Alaskan cruise pics tomorrow to motivate you to go.... I can highly reccommend going to Alaska, just do it sooner than later, cos when all the glaciers are gone it won't be the same.
Slowbee Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 :angry: must have been awesome !! When junioress is older and can stay with granny and grandpa for a few days ....
Slowbee Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 would you say NZ is better than alaska in terms of the fjords ?
Wyatt Earp Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 Nice Patham @Patches, that must be one of the most beautiful images I have ever had the privilege to see.Now assuming you are who I think you are, what I would like a oic of is that World Champion gold medal of your mothers as well as maybe an image of that Sunn hub she loved so much
Wyatt Earp Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 I took these on my way to gym this morning, not the best work but I still thought I would share.Taken with a Sony NEX 3. The camera itself (taken a while back) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2461/5716123543_dffba36ef4_b.jpg_MG_4963 by OddPix1, on Flickr The two snaps just before gym. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3415/5792745700_c13579dbd3_b.jpgDSC00279 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3404/5792746814_80759133c2_b.jpgDSC00275 by OddPix1, on Flickr
Wyatt Earp Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 dangle, did you use a tripod?No hand held, I had time to kill and my Sony was lying in the bag, took them at spur of the moment.
patham Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 would you say NZ is better than alaska in terms of the fjords ? NZ fjords are stunning, but quite limited in terms of tourism access. I gather if you like hiking, esp in the cold and wet, the hike over the mountains into Milford Sound is awesome. Alaska fjords have glaciers, and are far more accessible, it does mean you have to share it with old overweight americans. Because Alaska is at the tail end of a very long supply chain from the rest of the states, it is very expensive. But, on the plus side, Anchorage is full of brilliant micro-brewers, and the fresh fish (halibut, salmon & king crab -star of Deadliest Catch)is the best I have ever had. Just make sure you fly on a bush plane, and spend some time in the interior to see the real Alaska. Being an engineer that also means looking at the oil pipeline....
