HDR

 I liked the HDR image because it enhanced the colors throughout the image by adding details that are spread out throughout the three photos. The brightness of the tree was taken from the overexposed, the building was taken from the mid-exposed, and the sky was taken from the underexposed. Next time I would try to spread out the objects in the photo so they aren't overlapping.

Landscape Preview

1. Maximize your depth of Field- By changing your aperture you are able to increase your depth of field. This helps you focus on as much of the photo as possible.









TIP 1: Think about the Foregrounds-Having an good foreground helps create a very interesting image because not only adds depth but it helps creates a way into the photo.


TIP 2: Capture Movement-Capturing movement gives the photo a point of interest and it helps create a mood.


TIP3: Use a Tripod- The tripod ensures your camera is completely still while taking the photos. This is needed when a longer shutter speed is in use.

















EQUIPMENT LIST:

• Lenses
• Tripod
• Camera
• Flashlight

I would like to go to Mount Bonnell to to capture some landscape images. Some other good places to capture interesting landscape pictures would be at Town Lake and Hamilton Pool.

 What is HDR photography?
HDR photography can be described as images that appear to be very close to what the human eye sees. It creates images with a wide range of colors. It captures rich colors to create a very eye catching image.

1.  HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

2. The way these images capture so much detail and vibrant colors is what makes it a HDR photo. It captures a very wide range of elements that creates extremely eye catching images.

3. Bracketing is when you take several pictures of the same subject with different exposures.

4. Photoshop can be used to create HDR images.

5. When creating a HDR photo you should try to not combine too many images. This is what helps create more natural shadows instead of making every pixel too exposed.
