HDR Photos

I took a few shots last night on the way home to experiment with HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. Basically you take a series of photos at different exposures levels, thereby capturing a much broader range of color and contrasts than you can get from a single exposure, and then you merge them all together into a single image. The result should not only have all aspects of the image properly exposed, which is almost impossible when you have very bright objects framed with very dark objects, but the contrast level and color saturation is also enhanced.
Last night I was using 1 total f-stop adjustment over the course of 5 frames. The end results were pretty cool, though I’m not sure that my subjects really show the full potential for this type of imaging. You can click on the image to see the rest.
I’ll be playing with this more in the future, so I’m sure you will get to see other examples in the days to come.
