    Straight wires like that should be easy to clone tool out.

    We should start a separate HDR pictures Thread!

    what do you think?

    95% of the HDR shots I have seen do NOT do HDR any justice. Most people still don't understand the correct time and place to use the technique, resulting in some funky pastel-looking shots. Just my opinion.

    I'm a little dense here - what does HDR stand for? Hi Def something...??

    High Dynamic Range, it consists of taking 3 photos at 3 different exposure settings (usually 0, +2, -2) and then using software to combine them all together and create a cool effect.

    Chris gave a brief description of the what.

    The why is as follows: digital camera sensors can't display a very wide range of brightness. If a scene in the forest is metered for the shadow detail, the sunlight through the leaves at the top will more than likely be overexposed. The opposite is also true.

    When parts of an image are either over or underexposed, there is a loss of detail. If the camera makes a bright scene white, no amount of tampering will bring out the details. If it makes a dark scene black, you are equally as hosed.

    HDR images allow for a much larger dynamic range than that of a single digital exposure. If I take a shot metered for the shadows, another for the highlights, and another for the mid tones, and then I stitch them together, I'm going to get a better representation of what the eye saw (since the eye can discern a much wider dynamic range).

    Alternately, people use it with a technique called tone-mapping to create the effect Chris mentioned.


    edit: Note that some people create psudo-HDR images from a single shot by digitally increasing and decreasing the brightness before slapping them together. I call it "psudo" because although it creates a visual effect, the image won't exhibit any more detail that the single exposure.

    Is Photoshop's HDR "maker" more for making sure everything is exposed correctly and less about the HDR "effect"? It doesn't seem that PS does the tone mapping part. Thanks for explaining the technical side of it, never understood most of it and now that I know how to use it to better expose rather than the effect, which I have never been a huge fan of.
