View Full Version : March photo competition-HDR VOTE OFF!
After discussing with Mister C, the theme for this month is HDR or High Dynamic Range. This technique allows a level of detail to be retained that would normally be lost as most cameras cannot cover highlight and shadow at the same time. Basic method is three images of the same scene, one under exposed, one normal on one over. They are then combined. I use AutoHDR which is free but there are other programs. Best to use a tripod unless you are good at hand holding as the images need to line up, and it helps if your camera has bracketing mode. You can go for subtle or over the top. It is also possible to use a RAW image and edit one under/normal/over and then combine those.

Cracking idea for this month. :)
Here's a couple of mine. I use photomatix. This will turn either batched pictures, or a single image. It's a really good little program.

I missed "bridge" last month, so I took this today from a bridge in the local nature reserve. My first HDR! :cool:

I find it hard to vote for anything involved with Clan Campbell, but Viney gets my vote.
