this might make a good BnW picture
and maybe can try some cropping~

Second that... can bring the oldies feeling.

High Dynamic Range
Taken in bracketing and merge together then tonemapping it.

 

[mikeeeey]

just to clarify, its photomatix or photomatrix?

photomatix

link: http://www.hdrsoft.com/

Photomatix Pro is a stand-alone program that creates and processes HDR (High Dynamic Range) images

yes its standalone

A free Lightroom Plug-in makes it possible to access the program directly from Lightroom, if desired. Some of the features of Photomatix Pro are also available as a Filter Plug-in of Photoshop CS2 or higher and an Edit Plug-in of Aperture 2.1.

but apparently u can have a plugin-version~

[qingtian]

Last weekend went to Changi Point walk walk & some photos to share

All taken in HDR. Not the best but I think not bad either. Way more improvements to do. Comments are very welcome & appreciated!

BTW, Nice pics.

Wow, thanks for the heads up in HDR. Didnt know much bout that. So basically, u need to take mutiple photos but change the exposure in the photos?

Not sure ur camera support Auto Bracket Exposure...
Even if it dun... can still do manual setting to adjust the exposure.

This article would give u more insight:-
http://www.secondpicture.com/tutorials/photography/hdr_how_to.html

Is a good read when I started exploring HDR...
But I been slowing down on this nowadays =X

Tried both PS and Photomatix...
Photomatix is more straight forward than PS.
But I find PS HDR more natural looking...
But it is really hard to adjust...

Guess should try explore photomatix again

the last time i research
the recommend to take 3 pictures

+2 exposure, normal, -2 exposure

its just a guideline, its more of a case-to-case basis


think its like, need one pic to overexpose subject, one to overexpose background smth liddat?

Wa, the read really helped me alot. Thanks!! LX3 got the auto bracketing function. Though its only 3 levels. Managed to do a shot at home. Haha

The effects are much better if u use a tripod + slower shutter speed?

Haha, learnt a new form of photography today!! Would be nice if different forms of photography are introduced!

Thanks qingtian!

Yup, LX3 also can choose the option of taking 3 pictures with +2, -2. Something i realised though. After doing the HDR, u cant save it as JPEG, GIF?
