1 HDR ~ The Possibilities Dooleys Camera Club 14th March 2014!1
2 HDR - The Possibilities Steve Mullarkey stevemul@oz .com.au website: A PDF copy of this presentation is available from your club.!2
3 HDR!! HDR = High Dynamic Range!3
4 HDR = High Dynamic Range!! Why use HDR Photography?!4
5 HDR = High Dynamic Range Add TWO New Strings to Your Photography Bow 1. Technical 2. Creative!5
6 HDR Examples Two Quick Examples... First... Technical!6
7 HDR!7
8 HDR!8
9 HDR Examples! Next... Creative!9
10 HDR ~ Creative!10
11 HDR ~ Creative!11
12 HDR Examples! Another Creative Example!12
13 HDR ~ Creative!13
14 HDR ~ Creative!14
15 HDR!! Two different uses for HDR!15
16 HDR - #1 Reason to Use It #1 - To Handle Bright, High Contrast Lighting n Sunsets n Sunrises n Interiors + Exteriors Combined n Bright Australian Sunlight!16
17 HDR - #2 Reason to Use It n #2 - To Add Creativity to your Images with : Tone-Mapping n Local Contrast n Structure n Detail n!17
18 What We ll Cover - I! n Discussion of Dynamic Range Film n Digital n The Human Eye n!18
19 What We ll Cover - II n Bracketing in Camera n Software n Audio Visual n Use of Local Contrast, Detail and Structure!19
20 What We ll Cover - III n Software Demos 1. Manual Blending in Photoshop 2. Auto Blending in Photoshop ~ Tonemapping in Lightroom HDR and Blending with Photomatix 4. Single Image HDR 5. HDR with HDR Efex Pro n Use of Control Points!20
21 A Quick Survey What do you think of HDR? 1. You re very experienced in HDR 2. You shoot a medium level of HDR 3. You ve tried it a bit 4. You ve not tried it but are interested to learn 5. It s horrible - can t stand HDR!!!21
22 Dynamic Range n Slide Film ~ 6-7 Stops. n Negative Film ~ Stops. n Good Digital Sensors ~ 7-10 Stops. n The Human Eye ~ Stops. n A Bright Sunny Day ~ Stops.!22
23 Dynamic Range n So. n The previous slide is very approximate, and n Non-scientific n But. n The figures do show that the human eye can see far better than even the best cameras, film or digital.!23
24 What Shall We Do? n How can we overcome bright light? n Use Fill-Flash n Doesn't help with Landscapes n Only shoot on dull days n Move to England!!!24
25 What Shall We Do? n Use Graduated Neutral Density Filters - 1 to 3 Stops Soft or Hard Transition 0 Stops!25
26 Graduated Neutral Density Filters Pros I. Result is obtained in a single exposure II. All the work is done in camera!26
27 Graduated Neutral Density Filters Cons I. Limited Control, 1 to 3 stops II. Straight Line Transitions Ok, with a simple straight horizon Otherwise it s a problem!27
28 Graduated Neutral Density Filters!28
29 Graduated Neutral Density Filters!29
30 Graduated Neutral Density Filters!30
31 Graduated Neutral Density Filters!31
32 What Shall We Do? n Take Multiple Bracketed Images, and n Combine the Images on your Computer!32
33 Combining Images 1. Manual Blending 2. Automatic Blending 3. HDR Software 4. Combinations of 1, 2 and 3!33
34 A High Dynamic Range Image Clipped Shadows Blown Highlights!34
35 Two Stops Under-Exposed No Blown Highlights!35
36 Two Stops Over-Exposed Full Shadow Detail!36
37 3 Images Combined!37
38 3 Originals + Blended Image!38
39 Types of HDR Images - Blending!39
40 Types of HDR Images - Over the Top!40
41 Types of HDR Images - A Compromise!41
42 Bracketing n Take Several Exposures 1 or 2 stops apart n Doing This Manually is Slow and Tedious n Most DSLRs have Automatic Bracketing n Many Higher-End P&S Cameras do too!42
43 Bracketing n Select the Number of Shots to Take n Usually 3 n Can be 5, 7 or even 9 n Select the Exposure Difference n 0.3, 0.7, 1 or 2 EV (aka Stops) n 3 Shots at 0, -2 and +2 EV works well for me. n Sunrise/Sunset might need more over/under exposure.!43
44 Automatic Exposure Bracketing (AEB) n Set Your Camera to Continuous Shooting n Set the Number of Images n Set the Exposure Difference n Hold the Trigger Down n All Shots are taken in quick succession n I know this works for Canon, Nikon and Olympus n I am pretty sure it also works for most other brands!44
45 Bracketing ~ Camera Settings I n Manual Focus n Tip - Focus once using Auto-Focus then set to Manual n Use RAW n Not Essential... but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!45
46 Bracketing ~ Camera Settings II n Don t Use Auto-ISO (Recommended but Optional) n For best results set your ISO at your camera s lowest setting n You can use Auto-ISO but your results might not be so good n Don t use Auto White Balance (Recommended but Optional) n Chose the most appropriate, Daylight, Cloudy, etc. n You can use Auto-White Balance but your results might not be so good!46
47 Bracketing ~ Camera Settings III n Use Aperture Preferred Mode - Not Optional n The Aperture MUST remain the same n The Depth of Field (DOF) must not change n It s the Shutter Speed that we want to vary!47
48 Bracketing ~ Camera Settings IV n For Exposures longer than 1/30 sec ~ Use Mirror Lock-Up n Exposure Delay Mode on a Nikon n Recommended for all long exposures - not just Bracketing n Optional ~ use your own judgment ~ get to know your camera!48
49 Tripod or Hand-Held n Do I need a Tripod? n Always Preferable n Not Absolutely Necessary n Modern HDR and Blending Software can Align your Images!49
50 Tripod or Hand-Held - A Warning! n If you Hand-Hold - Check Your Slowest Exposure n If your standard (0 EV) exposure is 1/30th second n Your -2 stops exposure will be 1/125th second n BUT n Your +2 stops exposure will be 1/8th second!50
51 HDR - Camera Demonstrations n Nikon D800 n 9 Exposures, 0, -4, -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +3, +4 EV n Olympus OM-D E-M1 n 5 Exposures, 0, -2, -4, +2, +4 EV n Note : 3 Exposures, 0, -2, +2 EV are usually!51
52 Watch Your Histograms Standard Exposure Mid-Range Fine but... Clipped Shadows Blown Highlights Under Exposure -2 Stops Highlights OK Clipped Shadows Over Exposure + 2 Stops Shadows OK Highlights Blown!52
53 HDR - Post-Processing 32-Bit HDR File RAW Files Tone-Mapped File Underexposure -2 Stops Standard Exposure 16-Bit Tiff File, or Overexposure + 2 Stops Exposures Blended Images Aligned De-Ghosting (Movement) Reduce Noise and CA 8-Bit Jpeg File Exposure Contrast Saturation, etc..!53
54 HDR - Post Processing n 32-Bit HDR File n Process is mostly automatic n A few user options - Align, De-Ghost, De-Noise, etc.!54
55 HDR - Post Processing n Tone-Mapped File n Produces JPEG or TIFF File for Further Editing n Huge Variety of User Controls n Exposure, Contrast, Saturation, Colour Temperature n HDR Strength, Detail Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, etc., etc..!55
