Experiments in HDR (high dynamic range) Photography and Tone Mapping



Series #1

Taken 2/9/07 at San Lorenzo Canyon north of Polvadera, NM.

This series of images was taken with the camera in aperture priority mode. The camera is set to take a series of three images, commensurate with a two EV difference bracketing. You need to have a very steady hand if you don't use I tripod; I don't, so most were taken with a tripod! I've included the 'properly' exposed image in all cases as a comparison to the hdr tone mapped image.

After creating the hdr tone mapped image in Photmatix, I took the image into Photoshop and continued processing. In general I adjusted the levels, saturation and color balance on all images. I also selectively used dodge and burn tools as well as local saturation and sharpening.
