HDR Photography - In Brief »

In order to display the complete range of tonality of a factory; High Dynamic Range (HDR) allows the photographer to showcase all the details.

Details in the bright areas as well as the darkest areas.

That is the raison d'etre of HDR photography.

The minimum set of photographs captured are with exposure values of +2, 0 and -2.

This ensures that we have atleast the building blocks of creating an HDR image.

Generally, we capture atleast 7 photographs from -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 and +3.

With a professional grade camera gear mounted on a sturdy tripod; we capture the images in quick succession.

Once the set of photographs are captured; we proceed for the editing stage.

Manual Editing of HDR Photographs

Although, the most common software deployed for HDR editing is Adobe PhotoShop; it is provides the least quality; atleast the in-built auto HDR feature.

Here is an example of automatic HDR created in Adobe PhotoShop:

Hence the need for manually working on files to create perfect HDR: complete range of tonality being displayed on the monitor as well as print copy.
