Dane Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 So tonight I tried to take an HDR picture. first picture 5 second exposure EV 0.0, second 2.0 third -2.0. I guess i bumped it on the last picture because the picture is blurry: If I put just the two pictures together its alittle bit better but still blurry: I downloaded and used FDRTools on my macbook because i dont have my windows pc with me so i am not sure what all to do with them besides render them together. Also to do an HDR picture is a tripod a must? I wasnt using one tonight. any other tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, artificial lighting doesn't go that well with HDR, but you might be able to prove me wrong :) Also, if you are shooting HDR at night, definitely use a tripod, each picture needs to be as sharp/lined up as possible ;) Oh and as far as software is concerned, all you really need is Photomatix EDIT: Another thing, if your camera has bracketing, use that, otherwise you'll need 3 images to get a good shot (one normal, one overexposed, one underexposed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remus_lupin Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 As Richard mentioned artificial lighting is a bit harder to do hdr with... although, I have done it and it came out nice IMO... I don't like the overly processed look and I rarely do HDR... it's nice to look at, and I'll do it for fun... If you are doing nightshots with a tripod.. make sure you use a remote/timed shutter, and for added sharpness set the camera to lockup the mirror... As you know, you need multiple shots at various exposures... 3 is okay... more is better ... This one guy on flickr does a lot of hdr... here is a link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anto13/ and here is the photo I spoke of that I took ... I believe it was 5 RAW shots... and I used only photomatrix ... Holy Hell... I just watched the intro video for Oloneo... and that thing looks insane - the relight feature-! Wicked!!!
