Looks awesome Nate. Wonder why the sky is still overexposed... what stops did you shoot the pictures at and how many did you use?

 

thx!, urs has to be the best on here with the truck and the guns, wished i could be that good. i used 3 pics i believe. but what does stops mean, sorry, still a lil new at this stuff, haha

 

Thanks but I think my pictures are nothing compared to some of the guys on here Typically when I shoot HDR, I have the camera set in program mode and then manually adjust the exposure for the different shots. Usually use 5 shots (the more the better range you get). If you look at an exposure meter on the camera (picture below) the difference between the whole numbers (1 to 2, -1 to 0, etc.) are called "stops" and the lines between are third stops. So if you were to shoot 5 pictures you could use -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 or even 7 pictures at -2, -1 1/3, -2/3, 0, 2/3, 1 1/3, 2 to get a higher range. It gets even more complicated when you take into consideration the point of HDRs and the use of histograms but I will try to explain that to you in person

Check out the picture below, might help to visually understand it better.

 

ah, u mean -2,-1,0,-1 ? i dont think i added a photo that had extremely dark exposure. ima try again.

 

Yeah, the bright exposures show you the close up details and darker exposures bring out things farther away, the sky, etc.

 

Thx for the info! yea, i had 4 photos with -2,-1,0,-1. ima try 5-7 like you said and go a lil darker exposure.

 

i'll def try this tom when i get home, thx for the info. had photomatixx for 2 hours and i cant get off of it, its addicting, haha.

 

new hdr shot

 

quick shot of a church free handed. thought it turned out decent.

Sweet. You know you don't have to put IMG tags around your IMG tags right? lol

how do you get your photos to be so clear and real? i've been messing with mine for a while, and mine just turns out with more pixels, where it looks like crap.

 

my friend did a pretty good job of an HDR pic of a friend of his which is pretty hard

anyone wanna take an attempt at trying an HDR of a person?..just curious to see more of how they look

 

this is what i mean, looks more cartoon. not sure how to make it more clear. Especially the clouds, they look horrible. any help?

 

^i like it! haha

but i do know what you mean about the clouds and it not being clear..

 

Thx! yep, i think it might be too much hightlight? heres one of my dog i did, looks better with no highlight. but still the clouds still look terrible. grr.

 

wow i really like that pic!...that dog is soo furry i could lay on em like a pillow haha..
