HDR photography practice




  MERGED HDR PHOTO

The process I used to create an HDR photograph was using  Adobe Photoshop CS5. It basically created the HDR photo, but I did adjust some settings to show more of the HDR that I wanted to see.
I liked the final product, it looks very cool and I like the vibrance of the colors and how you can see textures.

Lanscape Preview part2

10. Filters for Black & White: I you would like to shot in Black & White, yellow, orange, and red filters will help darken the sky and a green filter can help emphasize the different shades of green from the vegetation.

9. Neutral Density (ND) Filter:  Adding an ND filter can help you use a slower shutter speed to blur moving water.

8. Filters for Color: A graduated filter will allow you to even up the lighting between the sky and the ground

7. Spare Batteries: In can save your life if one day your camera is low batterie and you have a masterpiece of landscape in front of you.

6. Flashlight: When the grazing light from the low sun emphasizes the contours of the land.

5. Lenses: be prepared for different occasions where a different lens can be more suitable.

4. Tripod: It prevents the camera to shake

3. Photoshop (or similar): fix small problems that will make the photograph better.

2. Camera: need it 

1. Your brain: You can be creative









Landscape Preview

Tip 1: Work with the weather- a sunny day is not always the perfect day to shoot, you can also capture great photos when theres a cloudy day, after a storm or before a storm. In this situations you can get different aspects like rainbows, lightning or big clouds that make the landscape more interesting.

Tip 2: Capture movement- capturing movement in your landscape can give it life, mood, and more interest. It's nature so make it look alive, try to capture moment of water, cloud, or birds.

Tip 3: Change point of view- it can definitely capture more attention if you take time thinking about what angle could make your landscape more attractive.
