I was down at the Ace Cafe on Saturday with my SC430 unfortunatly no 300ZX's but a couple of 350Z. Took a few nice snaps thought I would share.

Its called HDR photography (High dynamic range imaging)

 

With any SLR camera and even some compacts you can change the exposure the picture is taken at. Normally you or your camera would choose the correct exposure for the lighting in the shot.

 

What you do is take multiply shots of the same picture at different exposure settings. What this does is a lower setting will bring out more detail in the foreground, a higher exposure more detail in the background (ie sky) and then normal shot which would be in the center of the picture.

 

You then combine all the pictures through software to make one picture using the best aspects of them. I use photomatix to do that.

 

So manually this would need to be done with a scene that did not have much movement in it like a landscape and with the camera on a tripod. Every shot needs to be the same. But latter cameras have a mode called 'bracketing' which will shoot x amount of shots with different exposures for you with one button hold.

 

I use a Nikon D5000 which does 3 shots at upto +2, 0 and -2 exposure and I can pull it off by hand (no tripod) if I take a deep breath. This is one of the cheaper cameras that will do this and I bought it used a few weeks back for £300 on ebay. More expensive cameras can take upto 9 shots at different exposures.

 

After you have your pictures I then use photomatix to merge them

and then a final tweek through Adobe Lightroom.

 

This is good site about HDR http://www.stuckincustoms.com

 

and if you goto youtube and search HDR theres also lots of good tutorials.

my iphone 4S has HDR!! :rockon:

 

takes non HDR & an HDR image and there is usually a noticable improvement in the HDR one!!

 

quite cool for a phone camera :balloon:

Thats cool did not know that. Still wont make me buy an Apple product though :blink:

 

I would imagine if you then ran your iphone hdr image through Abobe Lightroom or similiar would maybe enhance it even more.

 

Could always do the test. Take a picture of a pretty girl and see how ugly you can make her :)
