October moon HDR photo
« on: October 08, 2012, 09:05:51 PM »
HDR or high dynamic range photography merges 3 or more images (you must use a tripod) of differing exposure values into a neat photo. So often in high contrast settings the foreground is too dark or the sky is too light. The software from HDRSoft is easy to use and less than $50.00. Here's a first attempt at using the process and the software. It's early morning looking out the front door at the east side of the Cascades in the Okanogan. I think it works well...

Very cool
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

That is cool. Can you change the point of focus to add depth with that?

No but you can stop down to f/16, f/22 and achieve the same thing. ;)

Nice. Is there a bit of smoke in the air for that shot as well?
Is that software that you download, then bracket your shots and apply the software to that?

Moosehead, Huntinphool is right, changing f-stops will change the depth of field.

Quadrafire, there were high thin clouds that morning, no smoke. HDRSoft has a tutorial on their website that you can try for free. Take bracketed shots and give it a whirl. if you like it, you can pay and download the software to your computer.

No association with the company, I just like the software...

 You might try Photomatix too.
