HDR Photography or High Dynamic Range Photography is the process by which multiple pictures are taken at different exposure levels and then combined afterwards on a computer. The aim is to create a picture that contains a higher level of contrast than would be possible by taking a single picture. The result looks somewhat surreal, like a ghostly painting.
The day I was taking pictures happened to be very overcast with a gray sky which is not ideal for taking pictures in general but especially, as I've now learned, for playing with HDR photography but here's my results.
Here are the three pictures at different exposure levels.
And here's the tone-mapped HDR imaged.
Below are four more HDR images of Ayutthaya, just for fun.
Fantastic. But this wouldn't work for movies because of the motion, I guess. Or would it?
ReplyDeleteI think the new RED Camera might be able to do it but I was thinking that stop motion animation would still be a possibility.
Deleteooooh so THAT'S what HDR means.....this explains a lot
ReplyDeleteThe images are beautiful. I love what you're doing with your photography.
