What do i do when i get bored? I HDR pictures... yeah, i need a life, i know. hahaha.

heres one to start. post up your HDR pics in this thread!!

 

what's hdr?

 

High dynamic range, basically a picture with perfect light exposure received from multiple shots.

 

truth.

What ever happened to the good old days with a disposible camera from walmart

 

a few more of mine:













and with my fkt up lens:

 

Simply beautiful pictures V8 ROFL.

What all is needed to get such good looking photos? Expensive Camera +photoshop?

 

Can you please tell me your steps? I also wanted to know if you used the same image and adjusted the exposure, or if you actually took multiple shots and merged them. And the program used to HDR.

 

You do know we have an entire thread already dedicated for HDR under the Photography section right? I think it's currently at 12 pages.

neither actually. i have a D50, one of the cheapest SLR's the sell lol, and i use Photomatix which you can download a free version online (but it leaves a watermark, but still fun to learn on) or use photoshop CS2 or 3. i'll find a tutorial and post it up soon.


well, to be honest, on a lot of my HDR's i just use a single exposure, and photomatix will create an HDR image out of one picture. but i shoot in JPG+RAW. so it saves 2 files; a jpeg and a raw. i open the RAW single exposure in photomatix, create an HDR image and mess around with the tone mappings. on the rest of my pictures, i actually take 3 different photos with different exposure values. on most SLR's you can go into the menu and turn bracketing on which will take 3 pictures for you basically. you press the shutter 3 times (on a tripod is the BEST way to do it), it will take 3 pictures, one over exposed, one correctly exposed, and one underexposed. then you take those 3, open them with photomatix or photoshop and merge to HDR.

 

oh.. well... NOT IN THE NORCAL AREA! lol. if i could id change the title to norcal hdr. LOL

 

how retarded

FAIL

 

no worries...just wanted to let you know. I think you'll get a lot more feedback and posts on the other thread though

 

hi! welcome to norcal...wait. anaheim? hmmm... and im teh fail? sure looks like it...

 

haha, cool. thanks man.

 

I don't care if its norcal, I just think it's pointless to have a norcal only HDR thread. That's like me making a socal NSFW funny picture thread. why the hell only socal?

 

im not sure why NOT just a norcal thread? who really cares anyway. its not like it hurts you for there to be a norcal hdr thread

 

kinda what i was thinkin too. i guess people get too butthurt to not be included

 

lol. yeah, it would REALLY stab me in the back if there was a socal HDR thread, i guess i know where hes coming from

 

damn i wanna learn how to take pictures like that? any tutorial or what kind of camera to get? Please do a write up. so we can use this as hobby.hehe
