Experiments in HDR (high dynamic range) Photography and Tone Mapping
| High dynamic range photography
is a method in which one takes a number of exposures then combines them to
capture a tonal range greater than what is possible in a single shot. There
are a lot of great web sites that deal with this, just Google 'hdr photography'
and go crazy!
All of the images on these pages were taken with a Nikon D80 digital SLR. The HDR images were created then tone mapped (a way of reducing a very high contrast hdr image to a lower contrast image) using a software program called "Photomatix', available at http://www.hdrsoft.com/index.html. |
