Beginners Guide to HDR - High Dynamic Range photography
by netbizguru @ Saturday, Jun. 21, 2008 - 15:29:39

I have just come across an excellent tutorial on how to make great-looking HDR (High Dynamic Range photography) images from your photographs and just had to share it with you straight away.

The tutorial is called 'Beginners Guide to HDR' and it shows you how to make HDR images from your photos using a piece of software called 'PhotoMatix'.

Now that I have read this fantastic tutorial and downloaded the 'PhotoMatix' software - which can be downloaded as a fully-functional trial version - I'm just waiting for the optimal moment to take some shots that I think will look great when I apply what I've just learnt to them.

If all goes well, I'll be uploading the HDR photographic images that I make, here for you all to see. And if you follow the tutorial, download the software and make your own HDR images, I'd like to see you post them here too.

Till later, my fellow shutterbugs...

I quite like HDR, I use Photomatix myself (bought version) and it's a handy little tool.

Have to say I like going a little wild with my HDR, the more cartoony, extreme end of the range.

I took a look at the HDR photos on your website... very nice indeed.

I don't like most HDR I've seen. It makes things look too glossy and fake. You can just look at the images and think "Oh look, they've used HDR on that", and that detracts from the image for me.

Each to there own, Tom...

But personally, I do come across situations where the use of HDR imagery is an asset to my photography.

For instance, a photograph of a band for their album cover, or for a product placement in a new-age or grunge type of magazine.

For me, it does have its uses and in the right environment, I think it can actually help to accentuate the subject in an image...
