SupaGreen Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 You probably need an SLR to do this but anyways. Ever wondered how people get those surreal landscapes, cause I did. Here is the process. Its a Imaging process called HDR (high dynamic range) Pretty much setup your camera on a tripod, frame your subject, and set your the exposure bracketing (AEB) in your cameras menu take 3 photos, one at correct exposure and one at over and under exposure. Note* In your cameras menu you can set the exposure bracketing (see your manual) On mine I can set from -2/+2 to around -.33/+.33 for this I was using -2/+2 so the 1st photo I look was at correct exposure, then for the 2nd the camera automatically took the photo at -2 exposer and for the 3rd +2 then load the 3 files (you can do it with 2 I believe) into a program called Photomatix, click generate HDR, select the files, then click tone mapping, you can play around with the settings so this is one of the originals from my cousins backyard (jealous? haha) and this is the HDR version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupaGreen Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thats with all the HDR settings to Auto, there is a whole list of things you can change just with the easy slider thingy, but this was my 1st and didn't really know what I was doing, so just left them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 almost like a vista background with the reflections. Insult much?! I reckon it's more like a Windows 7 background Nice photo! I'd have just photochopped it :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupaGreen Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 here is another version, this time I used Photoshop to create the HDR, saved it as a .tiff then did the tone mapping in photomatix. then then did some more editing in photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Just realised my image censor is dirty again, there is 3 marks in the top left Does a dirty image censor not black out or pixelate nudity? HDR pics do look pretty cool, kind of makes things look a bit cartoonish, it's a cool effect. I've always liked the long exposures you can do with DSLRs too.

SupaGreen Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Does a dirty image censor not black out or pixelate nudity? unfortunately I haven't had a chance to test this out. I've always liked the long exposures you can do with DSLRs too. Click "All my photos" in my sig. Some long exposure city ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupaGreen Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 :oops:, it was late, ok. Haha all good, I did look at it a few times before I realised. I think your right, it was on lens and not the censor, can't see the marks on any of the other pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 fingers crossed it is on the lens, I don't like cleaning the sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 so using a cloth to clean the lens is a big "no-no" then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 using a cloth to clean the image sensor is a big no-no, cloth on the lens is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
