About HDR Photography HDR is a great, fun, new way to take photos and capture the world around you. If you’ve been disappointed by photos you’ve taken because you don’t feel like it quite captures what you sw, maybe HDR is for you! This page will answer some of the basic questions and tendrils will drift off to other areas of the site that may interest you. A sample HDR Image that shows off the sort of vibrancy and sense of living texture you can achieve with this technique. How to do HDR photography “Anyone can do this!” This is what I always tell people when I speak at universities, photo clubs, seminars, and the like, and I mean it!

I am very open about my process, sharing all my tips and tricks. I have a FREE for Mac and Windows here on StuckInCustoms.com that describes the step by step process.

If you’d like to dive deeper, I also have video tutorials for. The tutorial shows how I use the tool for a variety of situations landscapes, sunrise/sunset, people, motion, etc. What is HDR Photography? HDR is short for High Dynamic Range.

It is a post-processing task of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed. An HDR image is commonly made by taking three photos of the same scene, each at different shutter speeds. The result is a bright, medium, and dark photo, based on the amount of light that got through the lens. A software process then combines all the photos to bring details to the shadows and highlights both.

This helps to achieve the same task in the final photograph that the human eye can accomplish on the scene. I would say that about 75% of my images use the technique, and if you are new to it, then you may notice a slightly different “look and feel” to the photographs. There are all kinds of nerdy technical things I can say about HDR, but in case you are like me, you can learn best by example. I posted a bunch of my HDR photos below. To me, the HDR process helps the photos look more let’s say evocative. I can talk a little bit more about the philosophy behind the photography style here for a quick moment.

You might consider that the way the human brain keeps track of imagery is not the same way your computer keeps track of picture files. There is not one aperture, shutter speed, etc. In fact, sometimes when you are in a beautiful place or with special people and you take photos — have you ever noticed when you get back and show them to people you have to say, “Well, you really had to be there.” Even great photographers with amazing cameras can only very rarely grab the scene exactly as they saw it. Cameras, by their basic-machine-nature, are very good at capturing “images”, lines, shadows, shapes — but they are not good at capturing a scene the way the mind remembers and maps it. When you are actually there on the scene, your eye travels back and forth, letting in more light in some areas, less light in others, and you create a “patchwork-quilt” of the scene. Furthermore, you will tie in many emotions and feelings into the imagery as well, and those get associated right there beside the scene.

Now, you will find that as you explore the HDR process, that photos can start to evoke those deep memories and emotions in a more tangible way. It’s really a wonderful way of “tricking” your brain into experiencing much more than a normal photograph. What kind of camera do you need to make HDR Photos? Really, the hardware does not matter The bulk of the look comes from the software process, as described in the aforementioned tutorial.

You can go to my page to see what I use. Some eBooks on HDR Photography I’ve also written a series of books on photography.

You can find those over at my. Sample HDR Photos Here are a few photos I’ve made over the years that are good illustrations of the technique.

You can see more on at my. I make a new one every day here on the, so you are welcome to come back regularly. These images are stunning — thanks for sharing, and for spreading the word.

I have a question though: What kind of printing do you do for these images? It seems obvious that looking at them on a monitor (I would think any monitor) isn’t going to give you the full effect (which makes editing them hard), but as I understand it, most printers even ones at print shops are 8 bit 4 color, 5 at best. I would think you would need an extreme level of color resolution and print accuracy to see what’s really in the data. Yes, no, maybe so? I’d never heard of HDR imaging until the day I saw a woman shooting pictures with a camera that takes bracketed photos.

She explained it to me and that night I went online and googled HDRI and found your site. Since I’ve have been creating HDR images and pseudo HDR image for many years without knowing anything about that area of photography, I was glad to finally learn that there was a name for what I was doing. Seeing this amazing site gave me the motivation to create one of my own. So I gathered all my HDR and HDR-like images (about 60)and put them into an album within my massive Photobucket.com gallery (arnash). It’s url is Then I went a step further and created a Wetpaint.com website to showcase them along with explanations of what HDRI is and how I created individual images. It’s url is: I’d like to invite all who are lovers of HDR images to see what I created over the last 7 years as I’ve sought to capture many of the amazing natural wonders found in California’s northern-most coastal county (Land of the Giant Redwoods -think Moon Endor from The Empire Strikes Back) I hope that word will spread about HDR imaging and people will learn how to create HDR images so they can capture the many amazing sights that simple snap-shots can’t.

Pingback:. Trey, Just caught the interview you did on Pro Photography Podcast, awesome job. What struck me most about the interview was the passion you have not only for creating these images but with sharing what you have earned with others. I listened to a few other podcasts where the focus of the discussion revolved around defending HDR as a legitimate form of photography. It was refreshing to listen to someone for whom its not a question and likely not even a concern.

There is one aspect of HDR that I seldom hear about, actually two aspects but there related. In all the tutorials and podcast’s I’ve seen on HDR little if any reference is made to applying HDR to B&W or to applying HDR to interior photography. It’s easy to understand how dramatic and colorful landscapes can show off what HDR has to offer but it leaves me wondering if some aspects of HDR are being left in the dark (OK bad pun). It could be argued that B&W is more dependent on a wide range light and tone then is so in color. This would seem to imply that B&W HDR could in some respects lead to even more dramatic shots then color. HDR would also seem to offer some significant advantages for interior architectural photography although in this case the advantage would seem to be more technical then artistic. I’ve seen HDR used to great effect in capturing the dark corner of a room without blowing out light coming through the windows.

Yet for all the advantages it offers interior HDR does not seem to get much attention. Bias, conspiracy, or am I just off on a tangent? Hi, I love your site and you have given me much more to think about than just bracking and pressing the button. In a few weeks I am hoping to walk all the way to Mount Everest Base Camp. Do you have and hint, tips, or just thing I should be aware of for photography at high altitude or when taking pictures of mountains in general? One thing I can never understand is how to you get so sharp an HDR image from scene that is constanly moving. I followed your tutorial on the NY Time SQ scene and I understand the idea of using the original image to remove ghosting, but is this the only method?

Do you do this alot? Any insights would be great. Thanks Mike. Bottom line, I appreciate the look and effort you go through to make the pics. However, and there is always a “however” as you know, I do not believe the eye really sees things in the way you portray. I would more or so relate to the cheap rugs you see on display on a road-side set up.

You know, the bblluurreedd-ffuuzzyy pics you see on the rugs, which look, at best very colorful but fake at the same time. Honestly, my eyes do not see a blurry water stream while a back ground scene is absolutely clear, sorry. However, for fun I can see having fun with this type of photography. But I wouldn’t give up a day job to do it, that’s all. Take care, and great work by the way. Pingback:. Just wondering how the effect of building layers in PS compares with HDR.

I’ve achieved similar effects by layering, though not as dramatic. To be fair, I am not usually trying for dramatic, but do want the almost 3-dimensional effect and the ultra sharpness. Also, do you use a tripod? Are you steady enough to produce sequential images hand-held?

Do you use bracketed bursts? I should think bracketed bursts would be the answer, but was wondering. Pingback:. Pingback:. Pingback:.

So when I first saw your photos a few months ago, I didn’t really know if I liked HDR photography. I was on the fence becausewell, I thought they looked so fake! But now that I’m back exploring your site, I find that your photographs make me feel something wonderful that I can’t explain. They really are beautiful and beyond that, they’re powerful because of how they can help me to feel and experience. So anyway, great job! Love your site and your behind the scenes videos. 🙂.

Pingback:. Your photos are amazing and the way that they trick your brain,wow,A lot went into this HDR stuff as far as thought and ideas.You truly are very smart about the whole process. I don’t have any wants about becoming a photographer or getting into this hobby,but I wicked like what I’ve learned about this process from what you wrote.I guess I’m intrigued about it and surprised about the feelings that I get while looking at the pics.

I did check out Paul L’s stuff real quick and found it to be the same as far as feelings and the 3D appearance and the quality of the pics.They are really cool.Thank you for sharing and good luck to you with your future. Pingback:. All the images is Awesome. But, I have one comment here: The author says “HDR is short for High Dynamic Range.

It is a post-processing task of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed”! Thant’s not correct.

The HDR is quite done by software like Lightroom, Photoshop and nothing to do with the Camera setting to take 3 shoots. The Photography is all about lighting!!! For this reason, a lot of people thinking that if they got 3 shoots with different exposure setting (-2, 0 +2) they got the HDR!! The 3 shoots that usually “High, Medium and Low” Shutter speed and then combine them is to get the “Perfect Exposure” for your seance. Not always works. IT works only in some condition like: Your subject is in the shade and the background is sunny (very bright). Whatever setting you will use will get even burned background or dark subject cause both need different exposure setting.

In this case, you will need 3 shoots to get the correct exposure after you will combine them. But, Nothing to do with the HDR technique. After you will get your correct exposure, then Photoshop will be enough to do the HDR by playing with the all Shadow, Brights, Dark, Exposure, Sharpness, Noise, etc to get your final HDR. In another word, I can get amazing HDR in only 1 shoot if the lighting is correct. HDRlog, a young innovative company is proud to announce the release of HDRinstant 2.0. The software allows professional and amateur photographers to extract stills from video clips and turn them into high quality photos, even if the moving scene is shot in bad lightning conditions.

HDRinstant makes it easy to capture the famous “decisive moment” which is, according to Cartier Bresson, the mark of great photography. This new technique together with 4K video, is called “Lucky Imaging”. HDRinstant has been developed to help professional and hobbyist photographers/videographers in all types of scenes. For instance the software particularly improves the shooting for aerial, wildlife and wedding photography. In addition to working with video clips, HDRinstant also works with series of camera images shot in high-speed burst mode. The software is from now on a Freemium model, with three different versions.

The free version allows extracting images from a video, computes sharpness, and applies a tone mapping algorithm. The Light version adds new functions to improve image quality, such as good exposure, color rendering, sharpness, and offers 3 different tone mappings using more presets.

The Professional version gives access to HDR image creation. This High Dynamic Range imaging patented algorithm uses the neighboring frames of the favorite image to get the best from the video footage.

The software features some new items: Improved design and ergonomics Reduced computational time More tone mapping algorithms HDRinstant is a standalone for Windows and Mac. A single user-license for the Light version costs $25(US) and the Professional version costs $89(US). Currently, the Professional version is available at special introductory price of $49(US) until December the 31st, 2015.

CEO doctor Jacques Joffre is an experienced photographer and co-founder of Photomatix Software. It’s always a matter of taste, but there’s a range of applications for HDR which can go from subtly effecting a natural-looking scene, to way overblown exaggerated candy-colored “Thomas Kincade” impossible lighting.

Once you see the method, it becomes obvious in works, and can easily diminish the quality of a finished photo. Be very conservative in applying HDR as it is addictive; try to remember, art is not always about making everything as “pretty” as possible. Eliot Porter did not have HDR but created masterworks as much as his painter brother Fairfield did. Pingback:.

I Like these, I don’t do True HDR much, but I like to really blow out the light and dark in LR and post process to get these kind of looks, sometimes I feel I go over board and make them a bit to vibrant, but ahh art is in each owns eyes. This was one shot once and Highlights -100 shadows +100 and other manual edits in LR this is compressed as I can’t give the full but I like the almost cartoon Quality to the color and it is what my eye saw.

Pingback:. I beg forgiveness if this post gets lengthy but I’d like to clear up a common misunderstanding. I noted an older post that argued a properly exposed shot adjusted for contrast, exposure, etc. Created an HDR image the same as three (or more) differing exposures tone-mapped in HDR processing software. The essential fallacy in this argument is the assumption that a single exposure of a scene containing a very wide range of lighting conditions (from very bright highlights to very dark shadow details) contains complete visual information about all parts of the scene. If that visual information was indeed there you would be able to make adjustments in post-processing to bring out those details. But the truth of the matter is that many scenes’ range of brightness levels far exceed the capabilities of a camera’s sensor to gather the detail information.

If the scene is overexposed to completely capture the darkest shadow details the scene’s highlight areas are likely blown out and contain no recorded details to adjust in post-processing. Conversely, if the same scene was deliberately underexposed to keep the highlight details from blowing out then the darkest shadow areas go to black and contain no details to be adjusted in post.

True HDR imagery involves making several exposures of the same scene (usually using a tripod to make sure the composition is identical). Some of these exposures are deliberately overexposed to capture details in the darkest areas of the scene. Other exposures are deliberately underexposed to maintain details in highlight areas without them “blowing out”. At least one exposure is usually made at the camera’s “suggested” exposure to ensure the capture of mid-range detail.

These multiple exposures are then processed and tone-mapped in HDR software (or using Photoshop’s Merge To HDR process) to extract and combine the properly exposed parts of all the images to create a final image with good detail capture in all parts of the image. The settings used to tone-map an HDR image will determine how natural, or conversely, how surreal the final image appears. Some have noted that some HDR images appear unnatural and garishly colored. That is the result of going to extremes with settings within the HDR processing. Others use a much lighter hand in HDR settings and produced very natural appearing images. This more conservative approach is akin to Ansel Adams Zone system, in which he exposed film to capture details in one end of the brightness range and then adjusted his development process to bring out details in the other end of the brightness range. This more subtle approach is closer to the original intentions of those who developed HDR techniques.

The idea was to create a system within which an image could be created that captured a tonal range closer to that with which the human eye views a scene. Both camps of HDR processing, from the surreal to the natural, have their applications. Very creative use of exaggerated settings has produced art prints, advertising images and album cover style art that are unique and eye-catching. Others, particularly landscape photographers like myself, use the more conservative settings create very natural appearing images very much like what the viewer would see if they were viewing the scene in person. As had been noted in many of the previous posts, beauty/art is in the eye of the beholder. No one camp has the exclusive claim on the “proper” interpretation of a scene. I invite anyone wishing to see some of my images using the more natural approach to HDR processing to visit my online gallery site at or the Smoky Moments Photography Facebook page.

Thanks and, once again, I apologize for the lengthy post. Pingback:. Pingback:.

U2 was set to perform for the people of Paris for two dates. Prior to their second show that was to be aired on HBO on Nov.

14, tragedy struck Paris with terrorists attacks that took 130 lives and injured hundreds more. All shows were cancelled in the city and promised to return. When the rescheduled date happened on Dec. “U2: iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Live in Paris” was littered with passion, energy and a uniting force.

Bono, followed by the band, walked out with no grand entrance but a powerful uniting amongst each other with fists in the air. There was no need for anything but the energy already brewing. The band immediately went into “The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)” then “Vertigo” rocking the house from the start. “This is a rock’n’roll show,” he repeats. After singing “I Will Follow,” Bono spoke a few phrases in French and briefly talked about the attacks. Moving into the set, he talked of Dublin and losing his mother at age 14, singing “Iris (Hold Me Close)”. Spanning the center of the venue in the three stage setup is a widescreen with stunning visuals.

Walking up stairs to tell the story of “Cedarwood Road,” Bono treads through his “neighborhood” for both sides of the venue to see. U2 lived up to their word that the show would feature new innovations for their large scale sets. The tone begins to change when Bono introduces ballad “Song for Someone,” single from Songs of Innocence. Writing it for “this perfect girl” at age 18, she’s not interested in perfect so there’s “a chance.” A tender moment gone by moves back into the intense “Sunday Bloody Sunday” with the crowd singing along. Covering a large portion of Songs of Innocence, U2 of course includes favorites like “Until the End of the World” where the Edge takes the widescreen stage, Bono “spitting” water on him like he’s on fire. The show keeps up with the energy of the house with a colorful spectacle during the remixed version of “Even Better Than the Real Thing.” Pink, yellow, blue and green effects individually distort each of the four members of the band.

Having a fan on stage (again), after “Mysterious Ways” they bring out more stage divers who follow the band while the show gets a fan aspect through video recording during “Elevation.” Jumping around on one of the stages, the fans bring rise to the party happening in Paris. “This is a song I never could never quite figure out what happened in the end. This is ‘Every Breaking Wave’,” Bono introduced before piano version as part of a four-song set for “lovers lost.” “October” featured the mega screen with heartbreaking photos of the conflict in Syria, Kobani in ruins. The four songs for “lovers lost” was the peaking point as the somber song roared into “Bullet the Blue Sky” from their most successful The Joshua Tree. Visuals continued with more photos in a powerful rock performance.

“What do you want? You want us to be afraid? To look upon our fellow citizen with suspicion? To turn away our neighbors? You will not have our hatred.

We choose love over fear,” Bono says as they go into one of their big hits “Where the Streets Have No Name,” summing up how Parisians feel moving forward. Notably, they also performed “Pride (In the Name of Love)” in a set themed on war. Setting up the night for the encore, Stephen Hawking is played, speaking of living as one on this planet and having a future. “City of Blinding Lights” illuminated the AccorHotels Arena with a snippet of 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' before the massive audience took over most of the song about love and peace, “One.” U2 brought on Eagles of Death Metal to perform alongside each other for one song before U2 exited the stage to allow the band to have the final song. U2 said they would put on their best performance for the people of Paris and they brought the house down with such energy, intensity and spreading a message of love and peace in a world full of complications. “U2: iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Live in Paris” can be expected to be released to DVD at some point with production crews going back to early U2 concerts released as well as HBO putting so much into the event.

Previous special events aired on HBO have been released to DVD. Circumstance may all but solidify a DVD release sometime in 2016. U2 once again proves why they may just still be the biggest band in music all these decades later. The HBO special is available on On-Demand until Dec.
