Learn how to exploit the power of High Dynamic Ranges thanks to this tutorial.
There are several ways to create HDR pics - Do you know them all?
Thanks to this technique you won't lose a single detail in your photographs.
The document discusses getting started with high dynamic range (HDR) photography. It defines HDR and explains that HDR photography involves taking multiple photos of a scene at different exposures and combining them using software to capture a wider range of light than a single photo can capture. The document recommends a digital SLR with manual exposure controls and RAW support, HDR processing software like Photomatix, and photo organization software. It provides guidance on taking multiple exposed photos of a scene, avoiding camera movement, and processing the photos in HDR software to combine them, including tips on tone mapping and cleanup in Photoshop.
HDR photography allows for a greater dynamic range in images by taking multiple exposures of the same scene and combining them. Normal cameras can only capture a limited contrast range, losing detail in bright or dark areas, but HDR compensates by intelligently stitching together pictures taken at different exposure levels. Tone mapping is then used to map the extended dynamic range back down for display on devices with more limited dynamic ranges. To take HDR photos, a photographer should use a tripod to capture a minimum of three shots at different exposure levels of the same scene and then process them using HDR software.
HDR photography captures multiple photographs at different exposure levels and combines them to produce an image with a wider dynamic range than standard cameras. It compensates for the loss of detail in bright and dark areas of an image taken with a limited exposure. There are two main types of HDR images: computer renderings and those resulting from merging multiple low-dynamic range photographs. The general workflow involves capturing bracketed or multi-exposure images, processing them in HDR software to combine into a high dynamic range image, and final processing in photo editing software.
The document defines key photography terminology including shutter speed, ISO, aperture, depth of field, automatic exposure, manual exposure, color balance, composition, rule of thirds, complementary colors, analogous colors, and macro photography. Shutter speed determines exposure time, ISO measures light sensitivity, and aperture controls depth of field. Automatic exposure lets the camera adjust settings while manual exposure allows photographer control. Composition and rule of thirds guide image arrangement. Color balance, complementary colors, and analogous colors relate to color theory. Macro photography captures extreme close-ups.

Are you frustrated by unnatural looking flash photos? An external flash can help with this, but there are several different types. This deck provides a brief overview of each, along with their pros and cons.
Aperture, Shutter Speed and Depth of Field Arin Kheder
The document introduces aperture, depth of field, and shutter speed as they relate to photography. It explains that aperture is the size of the lens opening and controls the amount of light entering the camera. A larger aperture admits more light and results in a shallower depth of field where only the subject is in focus. A smaller aperture admits less light and produces a larger depth of field where the subject and surrounding areas are in focus. Shutter speed determines how long the camera sensor is exposed to light and must be adjusted based on lighting conditions to avoid under or overexposure. Aperture, depth of field, and shutter speed all interact to control the exposure of the photo.
Photography allows us to record moments in time and share experiences through images. Understanding camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO is important for taking high quality photographs in different lighting conditions. Proper techniques like framing, timing, perspective and following compositional rules can also improve photos. Photojournalism tells visual stories through images and uses qualities like timeliness, objectivity and narrative context. Captions provide important details to complement photographs.
The document discusses various techniques for using or not using a flash in different lighting situations. It provides tips on using higher ISO settings, aperture priority mode, image stabilization and post-processing to improve low-light non-flash photos. Flash can produce washed out images while ambient light results in more natural colors; bounce flash or off-camera flash can provide better lighting than on-camera flash. The assignment is to post a photo using fill flash outside or not using flash inside to rely on ambient light.
The document provides information about various camera settings that impact the look and quality of photographs, including aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and post-processing techniques. It discusses how aperture affects depth of field, shutter speed affects motion blur, ISO impacts image noise, and white balance corrects color casts. Examples are given showing the effects of different settings combinations on photos. Post-processing techniques like cropping, levels, dodging and burning, and color curves are also briefly introduced.
The document discusses aperture, which refers to the size of the opening in a camera lens. A larger aperture lets in more light and results in a shallower depth of field, meaning the background is more out of focus. A smaller aperture lets in less light but increases depth of field, keeping the background more in focus. The document provides examples of how different aperture sizes are suited to different types of photography, and illustrates the relationship between aperture and depth of field.
Aperture refers to the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light passes through. A larger aperture admits more light and results in a shallower depth of field, blurring the background. A smaller aperture admits less light and provides a greater depth of field with both foreground and background in focus. Apertures are measured in f-stops, with lower numbers like f/1.4 allowing more light than higher numbers like f/8. The aperture can be controlled in Aperture Priority and Manual modes to achieve the desired depth of field and exposure for different photographic situations and subjects.

This document discusses high dynamic range (HDR) photography. It begins by defining HDR imaging and explaining that it allows for a greater dynamic range of brightness levels than standard photography. It then provides examples of 9 shot HDR photos and discusses the benefits of HDR, including boosting creativity and allowing shooting in various lighting conditions. It explains the basic process of taking HDR photos using bracketed exposures and merging them. It also discusses different HDR styles, needed equipment, and tips for shooting and processing HDR photos. It provides resources for learning more about HDR photography.
High dynamic range (HDR) photography involves combining multiple exposures of the same scene into a single image to capture a wider range of brightness than a standard single exposure. This allows for greater detail to be visible in both highlights and shadows. HDR is achieved by taking multiple bracketed exposures on a tripod and merging them using Photoshop or other HDR software. Proper camera settings like aperture priority, lowest ISO, and RAW format are recommended. With practice, HDR can produce realistic or surrealistic images but requires the right high-contrast scene and technical skills to achieve good results.
HDR photography captures a wide range of tones from highlights to shadows by taking multiple bracketed exposures of the same scene and merging them into a composite photo. It boosts creativity by allowing shooting at midday or in overcast conditions. Users include landscape, architectural, and product photographers. To get started, you need a camera that can shoot RAW or JPEG files, a tripod, remote shutter, HDR software like Photomatix, and photo editing software. When shooting HDR photos, set the camera to aperture priority, enable auto exposure bracketing at +/-2 stops, continuous shooting mode, and ISO 100-200 for low noise. Histograms can help determine how many bracketed exposures are needed based on the scene's dynamic range

High-dynamic range (HDR) photography is a technique where multiple exposures of the same scene are combined to create an image with a wider dynamic range than traditional photos. This is done by bracketing exposures, then merging the photos using HDR software to compress the full range into an image that can be viewed on low dynamic range displays. While HDR has the potential to create more realistic images, tone mapping must be done carefully to avoid unwanted artifacts and preserve natural colors.
The document discusses high dynamic range (HDR) digital photography, including taking multiple exposures at different levels and combining them into a single HDR image using software to capture highlight and shadow details that the camera cannot otherwise see. It outlines the general HDR process of taking 3-7 exposures with different exposures in manual mode, loading them into HDR software to combine into a HDR image, and then post-processing the image for tones and saturation.

4. Introduction:
About HDR
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, this type of
photography is obtained combining more pictures with
different exposures into a unique one.
Imagine a landscape, mountains, sky and clouds: usually you
need to choose whether to expose the shadows or the
highlights.
In HDR you can take perfect exposure of the clouds, then the
sky and then the mountains and combine them all.
The result will be the most varied dynamic range.
5. Introduction:
About HDR
Basically it allows you to highlight the details of every element
of your image.
Without having to lose some of them, to highlight the others.
The results can be really amazing!!
6. Introduction:
About HDR
Modern cameras should have this function already integrated
in their software.
In this case all you have to do is choose how many pictures
you want to take and how many “stops” of exposure you want
from picture to picture.
7. Introduction:
About HDR
Wait… What does “stop” mean?
A stop is a doubling or halving of the amount of light let
in when taking a photo.
For example, if I increase my exposure by 1 stop, it means I’m
going to capture twice as much light as on the previous shot.
11. Know when you need HDR
You shouldn’t use HDR for every picture
you take!
Generally, you should use it when there is
co-presence of highlights and shadows in
your frame, and you want to outline the
details of both the elements.
You get the best results with cloudy sky,
craftsmanship and detailed architecture.
1
12. So when should you use HDR?
• When your frame has dark areas next to bright
areas, and it is impossible to expose them
correctly in just one picture.
• When you want to define every single detail of a
particular scene.
• When you are shooting a Portrait in Sunlight.
• Poor-lit and Back-lit scenes. HDR can brighten
them up, without overexposing the areas that were
already bright.
• Landscapes, which are often full of nice contrasts.
13.
14.
15. Use a Tripod
HDR merges different pictures together. So
for the result to be clear and sharp, the
frame must be the same through each of
them.
Only the exposure changes.
A tripod allows you to do this. Even with
long exposures!
2
16. Avoid Wind
For the same reason (the scene must be
the same, only the exposure changes) you
should avoid windy scenes.
You could end up with blurred details
because the wind has caused a tree to
move and when you merge the pictures the
scene is slightly different.
3
17. Avoid Movement
The reason is always the same.
If you have movement in front of you, you
can end up merging different scenes.
The results can be really terrible.
4
18. Burst mode to Freeze the details
You don’t want to use the burst mode every
time.
Sometimes long exposures can result in
fantastic pictures.
But if you want to shoot in HDR and capture
every detail of a cloudy sky, you should
definitely shoot really fast (burst mode) and
prevent the clouds to move from pic to pic.

20. 1 of 3 - Procedures to shoot HDR:
The Classic Way:
• Use a tripod
• Shoot 2 to 5 photos with 1/3 or 1/2 stops difference.
• Go home, open a postproduction software, like
Photoshop or Photomatix Pro and combine them
together.
21. 2 of 3 - Procedures to shoot HDR:
The Camera Way:
• Select the HDR mode on your camera.
• Decide how many pictures you want it to take.
• Set the difference between the exposure levels.
• Hold steady or use a tripod and shoot.
• The more photos you take, the better the result will
be.
22. 3 of 3 - Procedures to shoot HDR:
The Post-Production Way:
Using postproduction software, you can re-create the
HDR effect even from a single photograph.
You have to use Lightroom presets, or act on the
curves and settings that the software provides.
