maybe ill celebrate tonight and just go for the gold















just a few pics from a shoot today thought id share

 

Ironically, posts in Off Topic don't count towards your post count.

 

are u serious?

 

Haha, regardless.. Nice pics

 

that is ironic and really funny

 

Quite. Hahaha.

 

um u do know those aren't true HDR's right? those are just edited in the style of HDR.

 

no they are real hdrs some with up to 8 different exposures
all taken on a real tripod on a real canon xt and then all exposures merged into hdr format in the popular hdr program photo matix

 

i understand u did multiple exposures and edited them to be an HDR but they still aren't true HDR's. To see what a REAL HDR looks like, go to the DSLR thread and skim through there. On it somewhere is an explanation of what a REAL hdr is.

the pics look good anyways.

 

lol they are pretty real to me and yeah ive been around the internet on alot of hdr sites theres alot of different ways to do them i know but making hdrs is merley bringing out all shadows and highlights from different stops with out changing aperature i used to do them in my 35 mm days in the dark room

 

it isn't just that. that is just the process. it is also about having a HUGE dynamic range of colors and the contrast of colors. hard to explain. lemme see if i can find the link to what i am talking bout.

 

 

ha ha ok ok i get the point. ha ha

 

An example of a "true" HDR would be nice before you go to bed

 

this is what i am talking bout. get what i am saying now?

 

thats what i did dude

 

i am talking mostly bout the color range and the highlight and shadow range. i don't doubt u took multiple exposures. i don't know how to explain what i am talking bout.


anyways... the photos look good.

 

In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

High Dynamic Range Imaging was originally developed in the 1930s and 1940s by Charles Wyckoff. Wyckoff's detailed pictures of nuclear explosions appeared on the cover of Life magazine in the mid 1940s. The process of tone mapping together with bracketed exposures of normal digital images, giving the end result a high, often exaggerated dynamic range, was first reported in 1993[1], and resulted in a mathematical theory of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter that was published in 1995[2]. In 1997 this technique of combining several differently exposed images to produce a single HDR image was presented to the computer graphics community by Paul Debevec.

This method was developed to produce a high dynamic range image from a set of photographs taken with a range of exposures. With the rising popularity of digital cameras and easy-to-use desktop software, the term HDR is now popularly used[3] to refer to this process. This composite technique is different from (and may be of lesser or greater quality than) the production of an image from a single exposure of a sensor that has a native high dynamic range. Tone mapping is also used to display HDR images on devices with a low native dynamic range, such as a computer screen.

2 stops each way right, then took them home uploaded them and continued to merge them in the above mentioned "software" some come out with more detail
this i understand

but what i posted are true hdrs pictures b definitiony

 

i will admit i need to upgrade my lens tho and that pic u posted is a Tone-mapped image made from nine exposures of Trenčín, Slovakia at night.

 

my red bar has been full for years :-P
