i am very interested in learning some more about this type of photography. is this something that you do with digital imaging software? or is it something i can do in the camera?

do you shoot several different pics from a tripod(or some other stable mount where you can snap the same frame) and merge them all together?

i need some guidance if you cant tell , and any help will be appreciated

I can ask my brother, what software do you already have?

hoss4131

none lol.

but i guess i can get whatever i need . i actually think i was looking at your thread with the pics and it peaked my interest

I only know how to do HDR of a still frame. It involves taking 3 or 4 pictures of different apetures, usually low, medium and high relative for the frame youre shooting. Then you can go to PS, and it allows you to superimpose the images, and it makes this awsome picture lol. Im not sure how it works but it filters out the things that are TOO dark or TOO bright and leaves you with a picture thats got optimum apeture at all depths of field.

i looked at that, but it doesnt really tell you how to do it...

hoss4131

that was kind of what i was thinking, guess i need to dl photoshop to play with it

i might try this with my camera, it has an image editing feature that allows you to superimpose images, i might see if it will let me do that.

but as far as putting a color shot on top of a black and white, im guessing i will need to use photoshop. like, for example, if i want to put a pic of my car, in color, on top of a black and white background. i guess i would just take two identical pics and superimpose them? or, i could even take one pic in color, and then turn it to black and white and superimpose the color part on top of the black and white?

^i just did. I have only used PS CS3 to do it, and its easy once you get all the levels right.

guess that tripod i just bought today is going to get alot of use this weekend, im gonna try to do some HDR projects and see how they come out

just gotta find a good torrent with PS on it, and also learn how to use it lol.

if i really want to make an hdr, i shoot in raw and adjust the file for the different exposures. i then bring them into Photomatix Pro, create the HDR, and fix the settings. I then put them in PS for resize/watermark/retouching.

i find that shooting 3 different images at different exposures doesn't always work, as it's not guaranteed the framing will be the same in all of them. if any details are misplaced, it'll throw off the whole HDR.

hoss4131

thats a good idea too

im DL-ing PS right now so i can try it with some of my raw files maybe

kevburgler

look into photomatix as well, probably the best HDR program imo.

hoss4131

ill check it out, ill find a torrent for that one too

agreed, and i searched for some torrents and couldnt find any trackers

i did find a trial version of a software though, and i used it to make these:

huh? HDR? I can make those photos with one exposure lol.

hoss4131

i would enjoy seeing you try

also remember they were my first attempt, however, i would imagine by your response you were nothing but jealous

regaurdless, you have only shown you are an ***-clown, good job

hoss4131

another point, you DID NOT make those pics with any exposures, so dont even bgin to make claims like you could make them with one exposure... if you could, you would have, instead of talking ****... but you obviously cant, so stfu....
