I walk by this spot in Little hall each Tuesday and Thursday of my week. When the sun is shinning I am always so brought into this spot. I thouht that it was a great canidate for HDR. I am still learning how to detect when things are canidates for HDR. I am really happy however, with how this photo came out. I really love how the greens of the tree outside the window really draws my eye in. And the slight red of the brick on the side makes the green look even greener.

I used sliders to convey the difference between the HDR and normal versions of the photos. I found that the HDR images seem to increase detail, while also increases light from the source, but decreasing shadow. The settings I used for the following images made the camera capture 5 consecutive photos and layer them.

Evening sun back home in my families extremely messy bathroom, I thought it was interesting how HDR effects the reflections cast by the windows on the wall. As you slide the slider you can see how detail in the window reflections change.

The moon the night after it was full, you can see in the craters how the HDR photo captures more detail and increases over all contrast.

Editing with HDR using images taken on a Google Pixel 2 XL.

Assignment 8 – TateY

Having never captured images for HDR or edited for the HDR look, I was mainly just interested in experimenting with what I could do to the images and if I could create something that I liked. Personally, I really dislike over-the-top HDR photos as I think it makes everything look way too cheesy and overdone, but at times a bit of this effect can look nice. I was not going for the look where everything was evenly exposed, but rather make it so theres still clearly some contrast and depth to the images. Even though I’m not a huge fan of HDR, I do like that so much more of the image as a whole can be played with and I can make more drastic edits without sacrificing quality.

My process for creating my HDR photo was: Take 3 different exposures, merge together with Photoshop, roughly edit in Photoshop, export and re-import into Lightroom, edit in Lightroom using masks and split toning.
If you look at the other HDR photos I’ve included in this post, they all have a similar tone. I liked playing around with images that have slight movement, which was easy to capture with fidgety kittens as my subject.

This scene doesn’t work very well for the HDR assignment – I also didn’t play with any of the crazy filters because I thought scene was weird enough.

Using the 5D Mk. III built in HDR functionality and the “natural” effect – which I think is no effect/filter. The 5D also includes the Art filters, Standard, Vivid, Bold, and Embossed which drastically changes the HDR image.

This scene I think could have been better for the HDR assignment, but I didn’t have the time or space to setup a tripod in the DPC third floor stairwell. I experimented with many more of the effects in the 5D and choose Art Standard for these photos. I would like to get some of them into the Nik software and play with the same photos there.
