First attempt HDR!!!

ruku · 19-05-2008, 17:24

I just bought myself a Canon Eos 300d - I was after decent quality at the right price and this seemed to satisfy that!

Anyway these are my first attempt at HDR imaging! What do you think?

(I can't even use it properly yet

)

Think they look really good

Wardy · 19-05-2008, 22:22

Good effort

Think the car shot works best - I've mucked about with them too and it's getting a shot where you can best exploit the change in contrast and exposure; and the Fabia shot seems to show that best, from the ones you've linked to here.

Great pics! I especially like the second one you posted.

I've had a little play with HDRs but I'm still a total amateur at stuff like this and photography in general. I need to go out and practice more.

Mr Grumpy · 19-05-2008, 22:31

You should be getting the superglue off your hatch lid, instead of fannying about with cameras, you big wuss.
And get yourself a proper job.....

Nice pics. though, although I thought you were skint, how come you can afford a decent camera? Is only paying £15 a week board money a clue........

Nice pics mate, I do like the second one.

How dare you! Haha. I have been paid since! Thank you very much!

The cleaning of the car will be done asap! I was wondering if I could borrow my polisher back as well for a bit! haha

And £15? I should be lucky!

You're just jealous, I'm young you're not!

auroan · 30-05-2008, 14:19

Looks cool. What setting etc do you do to get the hdr thing ?

Harry_vRS · 30-05-2008, 14:42

How about this

auroan · 30-05-2008, 15:43

Is this done via photoshop ?

Harry_vRS · 30-05-2008, 17:29

I use Photoshop to create the 3 images (under, normal and over exposure) then use everyone's favourite - Photomatix, to create the actual HDR image.

You can use Photoshop but Photomatix is a hell of a lot better!

***ncarring*** · 30-05-2008, 17:41

What's HDR?

Loz · 30-05-2008, 17:51

High Dynamic Range I think. I'm not convinced by it at all tbh. They have to look something like this for me to like them:

http://www.thinking-picture.com/imag...se_HDR_big.jpg

http://srika.com/img/chicago_hdr/chi...heast_1280.jpg

(no, they aren't mine!)

The idea is to make them look perfect/impressive by doing it, not peculiar. Not slating these attempts, but I personally don't like it when they look uneven

Loz · 30-05-2008, 18:52

I've just had a little play, no idea what I was doing

I can't believe how much better photomatix is for it than photoshop?? weird. Anyway, this is what happened. Defintely better than the original as riginal was under exposed on the wall

Loz · 30-05-2008, 19:18

hmmm...see this one I'm not so sure, because it looks a bit odd??

OMG totally slated!

Na I'm joking. I guess to get them that good you have to have the camera perfectly still for the 3 exposures (unless you use RAW to produce it)
Then there is the added fact you need to know how to do it properly

Thanks Loz!!

Loz · 31-05-2008, 17:57

Lol, not slating at all, I'm just never sure if I personally like it or not. I have no idea what I'm doing tbh, one reason I've never really bothered before (cba reading tutorials!) with practice I'm sure you'll end up with some good ones.

You're supposed to actually take different shots to do this with, but I have just used a RAW for the first and a jpeg for the second. 6 shots int he first and 7 in the seconds just to see how they came out,and thats what I ended up with lol

Had another play and I think this looks better than the last. It's jsut about trial and error I guess...

I'll try get some more up and see if I can get a better result.
