Description
I read an article about creating HDR images, and i wanted to give it a try. I shot five images with 2EV difference between each, and put them together in my computer. I think it turned out well, the range of contrast is big, both the sky and the building has lots of detail.[EDIT] The source images can be seen here: [link]

Impressive I must say. But no - I do not wish to have the link as many others have gotten, I'll just continue passing by time to time

Yeah, love these! I have the software already sitting on my computer and tried some myself but I definately need a real tripod for this, the small one is not stable enough and trying to make the photos overlay correctly is a real pain ...

You should try it

It's more the size of my tripot. I have a small pocket one which is ok for night shots but not very good in holding a position while changing settings on the camera. But maybe I should try that clamp setup of yours

Awesome! Did you use the HDR feature in photoshop CS2 to put them together?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, a different software, but it's the same kind of processing as the HDR in photoshop.

The article was in a Swedish photo magazine i just bought today (Kamera & Bild issue 2006/12).

I hope to find some really good places to shoot, this test one is just the view from my balcony

so, this balances the exposure between the sky and other subjects?
would you mind posting the 5 originals in your scraps, so I might have a look at an actual example. Because this sounds awesome.
The shot looks great by the way, almost surreal for some reason.
I think the reason it looks surreal is because this is how a human eye would see this shot.

Nice shot !
Yes it's a good way to create huge images ! I use this technique to make 360° panoramas.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think the techique i have used here is for making panorama pics, the thing is to take several pictures of the very same thing, but with different exposure and to combine them to get a bigger dynamic range, here you can see my source images: [link]
I did not use this to get a huge image, just to get the higher dynamic range in that one wide angle photo.

Indeed, this has nothing to see with panoramas, I misunderstood your comment, sorry about that ! I am french so it's not so easy for me...
