HDRI IMAGING

Photo by Stuck in Customs


Hay u all , its been a while since ive posted.. Sorry for that .... So anyways the other day , we were at the CCC meeting discussing some photos when the subject of HDRI ( high dynamic range imaging ) came up ., and i thought lets make a post bout that .

So heres the basic wikipedia definition :

high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) : 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.

So heres a summary on the technique in a very simplified way and im posting a link for a HDRI forum in case u guys want more details :

1) The trick is , in a busy scene , there is no universal perfect exposure , there will always be a part which is darker( underexposed) and a part which is brighter ( overexposed) .

2) U set ur cam on ur tripod and prepare to take like 4 to 6 pictures of the same scene, but with a different exposure setting each time ( underexposed , overexposed ) .

3) Using a computer program , u combine the different pics , to obtain a universal perfect exposure for every subject in the scene ( some programs will do this part for u and even adjust the tonalities) .

Thats as basic as it gets .
