My Early Experiments in HDR
None of you apparently liked my Hawaii pictures. Maybe my new HDR
photos will be more toward your liking? For one thing, I don't have very many of them, yet. After all, I only began shooting them a week ago. Please simply ignore the Hawaii photo albums, if you wish, and go straight to the album labeled, "910 HDR." http://photos.yahoo.com/imagebuffet |

He badly needs parental approval. Mike In an attempt to be constructive, I suggest you buy some art photography books (Taschen) and take a look at some of the images. I think that your images lack impact because of the subject, and because you have shown us a fairly linear 8-bit version of an HDR image. When you convert to a 'regular' image you need to apply some sort of tone curve, or make a judgement call on to what highlights to show (and lead the eye) and which to hide (make darker). I would go find a great looking cathedral or church, and practice taking an image of the inside with all the detail of the stonework, and the stained glass intact. Just converting an HDR image into an 8-bit pc image renders a rather washed out and grey result. Dave |

My Early Experiments in HDR
I have 11 HDR subjects on display, ranging from neon-lit shops at night
in a storm to open flames in a BBQ grill. Getting the flames to line up with perfect registration must've been a real bitch. |

Difference in terminology. Some people refer to the number of bits per channel, some to the number of bits per pixel. Your image is 8 bits per channel, 24 bits per pixel and can legitimately be referred to as "8 bit" in addition to "24 bit". Particularly when working with HDR images, you might also see "16 bit" images (48 bits per pixel, either linear or gamma corrected), or even floating point pixels (16 or 32 bits per channel). In the past, you might have seen colour mapped images that had an 8-bit pixel used as an index into a 256-entry colour map, while the colour map usually has 24-bit pixel values. So the frame buffer is 8 bits, but doesn't really have RGB channels, the colour precision is 8 bits/channel or 24 bits/pixel, but only 256 colours are available. This particular "8 bit" image format was never very useful for photography, and has mostly vanished with the advent of cheap 24-bit frame buffers and JPEG compression. So I think we can call this variant extinct for photographic use at least, and recognize that a reference to an "8 bit" image probably means 8 bits/channel, 24 bits/pixel. Dave I did mean 24 bit total - Photoshop refers to these images as /8,/16 & /32 in the image title bar. In the last paragraph I mention 8-bit pc - meaning 8 bit per channel. I still think you need to find a better subject for your photographs, here's one of my favorites: http://galleries.oomz.net/pub/clived...144856-HDR.jpg Dave I would add that this one is the best of the set...

Dave,
That last photo (http://galleries.oomz.net/pub/clived...144856-HDR.jpg) is quite nice. Yet something about is disturbing. I don't know if it is the perspective or the shadow detail or the over all exposure. I don't know if it is yours. But it is far beyond anything you have shown the group. Keep working at it. Edit your work before you show it to people. It may mean something to you. But, is lost on the rest of us. Good luck. Draco Getting even isn't good enough. |
