![]() Honestly, these are straight out of camera. Haven't done any editing except re-sizing. Will try to follow your suggestion though can you please explain what you mean by increasing the structure? Thanks | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() How much DR you can extract out of one exposure depends on the camera's sensor. I'm happy with what I can extract out of my K-x's single exposure. Another thing is I don't want to buy Photomatix just for HDR, it's not worth the investment for me as I don't do HDR that often. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks, pseudo HDR. A little overcooked if you ask me, but I was experimenting :-) Quote: Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() How do you guys define HDR? The expansion of the acronym is High Dynamic Range, but I don't see very high dynamic range in some of the photos posted. When do you decide that you have to shoot a scene in HDR? Would you consider this photo an example of HDR? ![]() |

Some people would like to see colorful and surreal HDRs but that may not suit well for all kinds of subjects. Some prefer just subtle HDR processing. An HDR can really bring out the vividness of colors, with the dynamic range. Original click (one of them) ![]() HDR-1 ![]() HDR-2 (More painterly) ![]() Personally, I prefer the first HDR, which is milder than the second.

On top it, I like the HDR to be mild for landscapes. I dont want it to go over the top. Hence the one I posted looked like a normal landscape. May be it might be possible to extract the same from a single RAW, but when I snapped I was not too sure and hence went with a bracketed shot. Quote:
This image for example I shot with cell phone and tried an HDR enhancement to extract the details. ![]() Last edited by ampere : 2nd July 2013 at 00:31. | ||

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I still have not fully grasped the art of HDR. What I meant was even with a single RAW image, we may get a washed out sky or a washed out foreground depending on where we focus. Those are my first order points to make a decision, if I want to bracket. In the water image that I posted, I was not sure, if the refections would get captured correctly. Hence my reason to go for an HDR. |

Take a look at this image. This is the original unprocessed version of the image I posted in this post here. ![]() I under-exposed this by 3 stops to make sure the reflection in the water and sky doesn't blow out. Then extracted the details and colors out of shadows in post-processing. In hindsight it was probably not required to under-expose it by that much and I paid the price in terms of noise and loss of some IQ because of f16. | |
