Simply AMAZING!
HDR can look so fake though.
Cool video
Great HDR video Tim. I shoot lots of HDR landscapes and architecture. Knowing new ways to set up my bracketing really comes in handy.
I like using HDR but my detail in clouds is way over the top. I end up shooting a RAW shot just for the sky and a HDR of the ground to get solid, good looking results with next to no noise in the shadows. How can I avoid to much detail in the sky when shooting in HDR? My post work is good but can I get better shots out of my HDR three shot mix?
Great HDR tips! There are always new ways to take great HDR photos! No 2 situations are alike, thus, different HDR shooting strategies are required to render optimal results.
Hi, great walkthrough- I have a question about high volume workflows. I shoot real estate HDR, and I'm on a mission to find a workflow that will automatically group and merge my 3-shot bracketed exposures into the .DNGs. I'll leave a house with a couple hundred shots, and maybe 80 merges to do. Takes ages. Ever come across any automations for that? It'd be tricky- couldn't have any extra shots in the folder…
Does HDr improve resolution?
Nice HDR photos. Do you leave your aperture the same for each shot in the series? I've been told that keeping the aperture the same is necessary since changing it can change depth of field. Any thoughts?
For gods sake look at the camera when you are talking. Look at the viewer.
Nicely shot all pictures. Thanks for sharing
I got a question: what are the differences betwen photomatix and the lightroom-hdr-module? Is this module good?
Dear Mr. Cooper, many thanks for the very informative video. Nice voice with dynamics drives your speech right where it belongs. Learnt a lot how to do it properly.
Canon 5D MK III has HDR feature built-in which saves much time. Please could you recommend a reasonably a priced software package such as Lighgtroom of PS Elements? Which one will have more feature can you tell me about the prices please. I want to watermark my images. Thank you. Best wishes Pat
Perfectly explained..great!!!!!
great learning video. thanks.
Man, the last HDR tutorial vid I watched was an absolute bloodbath in the comments section (Topaz Labs feat. Captain Kimo). It's nice to see that wasn't the case with this video. I hate how negative people can be over HDR photography. I've always thought of the photography community as very pleasant and motivating. That was not the case with the last vid. Anyway, loved this video and am really getting the hang of this HDR thing.
thank you dude, very helpful
Sorry to say. It dosen´t look realistic. Ok, the image is nice, but nor realistic.
Wow, What a great description of HDR photography.
Good info! thx
how difficult is it editing 3-5 images together in photoshop? do we have to buy a hdr-spicific tool in order to edit our photos, or do we just have to do it manually?
Very good tutorial.
HDR rules!
