Course Description:
Photo by Paul J Everett
Limited dynamic range is the first frustration many photographers experience during the learning process. As you attempt to shoot a portrait during sunset, you expose for the beautiful colors in the sky and your subject becomes a silhouette. Or if shooting an interior room with windows, you notice the extreme over-exposure of the detail in the windows.
There are obvious limitations to exposure which cannot be digitally captured the same as viewed by the human eye. This course will explain how to create HDR (High Dynamic Range) images to overcome these exposure limitations. You will learn how to photograph scenes where the dynamic range is much greater than can be recorded in a single image.
Topics Covered:- Understanding tonal range and dynamic range.
- How to shoot a bracketed exposure sequence for HDR.
- Creating a photo-realistic effect.
- Understanding tone mapping.
- Using the Tone Compressor method in Photomatix Pro.
- Using the Details Enhancer method in Photomatix Pro.
- Creating the 'illustrative' look.
- Using Photomatix to enhance a low-contrast scene.
