Shoot a normal exposure (center image), then under-expose (left) to capture the highlights outside the windows and over-expose (right) to capture shadow detail. The solution is to take more than one photograph and bracket the photos. When you are at the location, you are able to see all these detail with your eye, this is because the human eye can see a larger range of tones than the camera can capture on the sensor or film in a single photograph. Also the detail on the stair rail is lost because it’s too dark.
Notice that the detail outside the door is lost because it’s too bright. The center image is a typical exposure, showing an average metering to produce the most detail possible. For example let’s look at the series of images I shot at the Bradburry building in Los Angeles. We meter for the most important part of the scene. Typically we sacrifice elements in a photo when we set the cameras exposure. Watch the HDR Intro video that explains what HDR isĪ camera is capable of capturing a limited amount of tones in a single photo (we call this dynamic Range, the range of tones that can hold detail between pure black and pure white).
PHOTOMATIX ESSENTIALS TUTORIAL 32 BIT
Basically it’s the process of taking multiple exposures and merging them together into a single 32 bit image. HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) was originally used in 3D and is now in full force in photography. I n this tutorial we will take a look at HDR photography. I have also learned a great deal more about the subject, so I decided it was time for an update. I originally wrote this tutorial for Photoshop CS3, in the years since then, Photoshop has gotten a couple of big upgrades in the HDR area, and we are now at Photoshop CC.
