High Dynamic Range
I was explaining to a client the other day the benefits of High Dynamic Range. So I thought I would show you an example. I've taken a series of the same photograph of the old shed at Paradise, this was a big ask in that the inside of the shed was very dark and the snow capped mountains and sky were very bright. So I took five photographs with a different exposure for each. The darkest had a setting of 1/500th sec at f10 and the lightest a setting of 1/30th sec at f10. I then put them through a programme called Photomatix. This programme then layered all five photographs (dark to light) on top of each other giving correct exposure for all parts of the scene. You can get an explanation of Photomatix by clicking on the name. Give it a go, you will need a tripod and preferably a cable shutter release. Cheers. Laurence..
