So, after reading the HDR book I picked up from Kinokuniya I went about the house to try out some of the quickie instructions in them. The book compares between the various HDR software programs out there. The one I\u2019ve been using since last year is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hdrsoft.com\/\">Photomatix Pro<\/a> and they&#8217;ve just released a new version too. It was nice to see that the book references this software a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s one very quick under 15 minute attempt: picture of the living room taken at 0 EV, f5.6, 1 sec exposure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" title=\"blog-2009-photography-DSC_2180\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2009-photography-DSC_2180\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/blog2009photographyDSC_2180.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"385\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the below is the HDR image generated from 5 pictures separated from +\/- 2 EV:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-hdr-02\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-hdr-02\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/bloghdr02.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"385\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>The differences aren\u2019t too significant since the dynamic range for this particular set of pictures was quite limited to begin with. Still, you can see probably see (slightly) more detail in the shadows and highlights, e.g. in the lower left curtains, overhead light and window reflection.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m gonna see about heading out in late mornings or mid-afternoons in the next few days to see if I can get more outdoor shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first HDR \u2013 or High Dynamic Range \u2013 photographic attempts were over a year ago (blogged here) and didn\u2019t turn out so well.
