Looked but cannot find a definitive answer, what would be a recommended range for bracketing, either auto, or manual, to achieve the best results. Both my digital cameras will only auto bracket maximum 1 stop, is a greater difference recommended. If so, what ? Also, 3 or 5 or more photo's, is there really a difference ? You valuable experience is welcomed. I've been playing with PhotoMatix HDR software, I have Photoshop 7 on my iMac, not CS2/3, not really understanding layers, is it possible to at least simulate HDR using layers ? Looks interesting! Thanks for the explanations. I can't help with your question, but I have an even more basic one -- What is HDR? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. You should try to google and type in HDR Photography. You will be surprised on the kind of images that produced using the technique. I came across the HDR a few years back. It was a website showing photos at the University of cambridge http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/cambridge-gallery.htm That site has great tutorials also: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tut...amic-range.htm In short, the photos include all of the ranges of shades in a pictures so that everything is bright and sharp. If you take a shot inside a restaurant, you will notice the closest objects are bright but the back is dark. By taking a couple shots with under and over exposures, you are combining portion of the photo area to keep all in bright and sharp images. I guess the various websites can explain it better than me. Popular softwares to use include Photomatix, or Adobe Photoshop CS2. But I heard there are lots of others and even some freewares. Hope that this helps |
