BHPian ![]() | ![]() @Clevermax - You meant Veli bridge, right? And thanks for the tips. It is very noisy, isn't it? Need a tutorial from you, guruji! ![]() |

| ![]() Thank you. For the HDR, please use a tripod or anyother stabilizing surface. Perfect replication of the framing is difficult otherwise. Also, if you shift just a bit and are on Auto mode the camera might act funny. ![]() With regards to the bridge, yes it is the Veli bridge. But many people still refer to the location as Aakkulam as there used to be a boating club there by that name. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() typeOnegative - Thanks for the tips. I did the bracketing within the camera itself. And next time I will be definitely using a tripod. Btw didn't know that you are a mallu. |

I am half a Mallu (my dad is full, but yeah, I am a Mallu at heart with a fondness for kappa and meen curry). ![]() You are correct. Moving objects will lead to ghosting. | |

Use manual mode - select an aperture and it must not change between individual shots for an HDR. With spot metering, meter different areas of your frame and get an idea of the dynamic range in the frame Use ISO 100! Take 5 or 6 individual shots in RAW, almost covering the lowest metered shutter speed to the highest metered shutter speed, you can increase two steps at a time in most cases where there is high dynamic range. Better to take that many pictures than ending up with a bad HDR of the only two RAW files you clicked! Make sure that you click all these in the same orientation keeping camera steady Back at home select three of these shots based on visual appeal (not too dark, not too blown out) and let Photomatix eat them. (You can try changing this selection if you don't like the HDR output) Make sure you are aligning by features and not by horizontal and vertical shifts After Photomatix processes individual images, do a lot of trial and error with the controls like light smoothing, saturation highlights, lowlights, blacks, etc etc. until you are satisfied with how the photograph looks - this is where most of your creativity comes into play while processing ![]() Save as 16 bit Tiff Give it to Photoshop and do your final touch up. Some creativity goes here too. The output here can still look a lot different than what was Photomatix's output. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to save a jpeg version to post. This is just my way of dong it, and there can be better and efficient ways to create stunning HDRs! @typeONegative: Altering the EV of one single RAW file to make two or three individual files and processing HDR is as good as pseudo HDR processing on a single RAW file I suppose..

The method you have suggested is technically correct, but there would be shifts in the framing which is why for starting out using the AEB function is better. These are my thoughts and experience and I may be way off the mark. Last edited by typeOnegative : 21st February 2011 at 16:41. | |

| ![]() @Chevy_lover, Great pictures especially the first and second ones. Clever_Max will tell you that the pictures are too warm though. ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Well if you have the Sun in the picture, then it is bound to be warm. No? Quote:
