HDR Photos

[Ian Crabtree]

Has anyone had a chance to play around with ff-related HDR images? I’m stuck with photoshop 7, so I can’t try it out, but I’d be interested to see any results from those of you who have.

So I take it he is basically exposing each section of the image for maximum color saturation and sharpness and then overlaying the entire image so that it has an unreal all-colorful, all-sharp look?

Here’s a link to some really cool HDR photos of manhattan on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/automatt/sets/72057594091674928

I imagine the use of HDR in anything fly fishing related is pretty limited, as subjects (water, fish, and people) are moving. For gear, flies, and other still subjects it would be interesting to do.

From my understanding, the beauty of HDR is that it allows detail in shadows while preventing highlights from being blown out. Doing it on any recently modern computer shouldn’t be too taxing, the only investment would be the time to manually take several different exposures of a subject.

The explanation of HDR as a grad filter applied to any part of a photo is probably the best way to describe it.

It works, but it takes alot of practice.

Its basically a technique to increase dynamic range in an image.
