HDR

Well, these are a little lame, well, they're pretty lame, but at least I've finally gotten around to experimenting with high dynamic range. I've tamed the software pretty much. Now I just need to shoot some interesting scenes. Here's a couple of experiments from tonight in the back yard. You can be sure I'll be deleting these and replacing them with something much better before too long...

  1. I think they are really pretty. mostly because you can't feel the blasted heat. :) The second one is my favorite. It looks like you just need a blanket and some good company and just lay on the grass.

  2. Hi Bruce,
    This is Josh Ashdown...steve Ashdown's son. I knew you did photography, but didn't know you had a blog as well. Now I will have to check in on your blog.
    I am really fresh into photography and am still trying to set up my style. I am however a HUGE! fan of HDR and really love it. I am trying to get as many people on the HDR path as I can.
    I love HDR for any high contrast scene without people. I have trouble getting people to look right. The only way I can getthem to work is to layer the original under the HDR copy and erasre the HDR portion of teh person leaving the original. However, it hasn't worked too well yet.

    Best Wishes,

    Josh Ashdown

  3. Yeah, it's tough to get moving stuff in an HDR shot. Your method would work. I've read articles on it out there in cyberspace. One trick is to shoot raw and then produce your multiple exposures from one raw image - blend those. If you have people in them, there won't be any blurring from the motion.

    We can talk at the family reunion in Nov. Yahoo.
