Picture/Lesson of the Day

This is how to make a HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photograph

Step one: take 3 or more pictures with different exposures preferably using bracketing and moving up or down one EV step.
*Note: The reason for the three pictures is that depending on the amount of exposure different objects appear better or worse depending on it.
This first shot is over exposed around the light and is too bright to see any detail around the light but is very well lit around the ceiling. The second shot is underexposed giving barely any detail in the top and bottom of the photo but the washed out detail from picture one remains.The final shot is a normally exposed picture giving detail to the mid-range area.

With these three shots taken put them into either Adobe Photoshop or Photomatix and create your HDR photograph. Tonemapping is what is used to change the settings of strength, temperature and others to create the picture desired. Take a look at the one below.



**Remember, when taking a HDR photograph to use a tripod.

It's been a while since I posted a pic, this is Calgary, AB. A little over exposed, I'd like to go back there sometime again and take a night shot.

This picture was again taken out of the master bedroom of my house with a telephoto lens. Its a little on the dark side but I like it.

Rarely in japan do you see bridges made of brick, or anything made of brick for that matter, that's why I decided to take a picture of it. With a little creativity you can compose a very cool shot.

Picture of the Day
A Stream of Winter. It was kind of a hard composition since this stream was taken on the side of a mountain. A slower shutter speed but I couldn't go too slow since I didn't have a tripod.

A long exposure on a tripod, I was just experimenting I know its not that great of a shot but everyone needs practice. This was my 2nd long exposure with a car shot. It looks pretty cool it was pitch black outside though so I couldn't see that it was raining a little until I was looking through the photos. Anyways keep your camera gear safe ;-)

This photo was taken from the master bedroom of my house, I couldn't really believe how decent it turned out especially because it was shot at 200mm. It's been touched up a lot in photoshop, I had to crop the top since it all it was was cloud. I like how it turned out though.

I think the name for this photo should be chosen by each person, for me I was thinking something like, 'Strength of Nature'

This photo was taken from a mountain watching over Nara, at F/18 and a shutter speed of 1/10, iso: 100 at 18mm on my D80. I love the picture, although the composition was a little hard to do.

This picture was taken in the middle of the winter in Japan, it still pretty warm there around 11 degrees, I desaturated the color out of the photo and added the color back for the pretty pink flower.

A little over exposed, and some camera flare but other than that I love the shape of these trees. The set up for this picture was for me to be 45 degrees from straight line that the trees are lined up. Taken at F/22 and 1/60s shutter speed at 18mm.
