HDR Photo

Hello,

Sometimes taking picture with flat situation is really boring to see, but making a photo from flat to high dynamic range is interesting. Off course you need one software to convert flat picture into HDR picture. Before making a HDR picture, you need at least 3 photos form different exposure ( many people are like also to make HDR from 5 -7 pictures ). For me, i just enough 3 photo from different exposure.

On 14.05.2011, me and my friend went to Basel to made some street photography, and unfortunately weather is not friendly, cloudy, windy and rainy. Because of the situation, then i decided to change my camera setting. Usually i always take picture with RAW format, but that time i change to JPEG and use bracketing. In my mind already set, i will made the HDR photo with this setting.

As bracketing, i put 3 different exposure with -0,5 EV compensation ( 0 EV, -0.5 EV and -1 EV ), as white balance i set preset with my expodisc white balance. After all prepared, then i fired my shutter all the time. Until spending some time in Basel then we diced to go to home.

When arrived at home, then i transferred all the pictures into my notebook, first time i want to see the original pictures before doing something. I selected some of them to be converted into HDR picture ( please see my photo technique links to see a link  HDR Tutorial … ). I follow all the rule that i read from Internet to made a HDR photo ( with some modification according to my style ) , after finished them then i opened all with Nikon capture as final step.

I am really enjoy this work,  if you like to see all my job, please click picture below. Any comment or suggestion are always welcome for me, as input also to improve my skills and knowledge.
