    HDR and back light – wallpaper “Gloriette”

    One great situation to use the HDR technique is when having backlight. In this picture here I used 5 brackets +/- 1EV. I could have used seven or nine brackets, but then the effect would have been gone. I threw in a polarizing filter and my trusted Sigma 10-20mm to catch the magic beauty. I…

  • Wallpaper: “Sunset on Vienna”

    Wallpaper: “Sunset on Vienna”

    Facebook is a bitch. I am one of those people who randomly post their pictures on facebook. And I am one of these people who want their pictures to be seen – I consider them art and not instances of reality. So if somebody asks for a wallpaper I cannot say no. This might explain…

  • Medieval alley

    Medieval alley, a photo by stst31415 on Flickr. What really fascinated me in this picture was that the method HDR could capture all the colors facets and texture and preserve them. That was not quite easy due to the different artificial light colors, varying from blue to orange. Again the tipp by RC Concepcion I…

  • Sunset – Things learned from HDR

    Sunset, a photo by stst31415 on Flickr. I love the subtle tones of orange of sunsets and HDR definitely gives me the option to pack them into a picture. I used 9 brackets in this one and added some glamour glow effect to emphasize the warmth. Sometimes it is a good idea not to overdo…

  • Panoramic HDR Experiment

    Why do they allow an ugly tent there?, a photo by stst31415 on Flickr. I went out with my tripod to shoot a structured panorama in at least 3 by 2. I made it 4 by 2 but it was not convincing. Because I also experimented… Another thing I wanted to try was a panorama…
