Experiment: HDR Photography
As you can probably tell the crew here at Abduzeedo are just fascinated by HDR Photography. There is something cool about HDR that i can't really explain. Maybe it's the colors or detail. Whatever it is, HDR is just plain awesome.
So yesterday I was shooting for a' La Mode (a photography group I am in) and I spotted this location that I thought would be perfect for HDR. I have never shot HDR but read Fabio's How to create HDR Photos - HDR/Photomatix tutorial, so I thought I'd give it a try. This also happened to be my first time using a digital slr, I normally use a film camera.
In the words of Fabio, "it's like the light is coming from heaven"

I have difficulties with hdr since i can't have 3 identical image! Each time i change my exposure the image has already moved so i don't really see how you people can make it!
Really nice shoot!!! HDR is just amazing!
being Scottish, I love the t-shirt. and the chick's damn cute too!
This is the best HDR I've ever seen!! I love it!
did you take 3 shot at different expositions or only one in raw and then made the expositions with your computer?
Technically what I am doing is not "true" HDR. Because like Lee, I take 1 RAW image and create 3 exposures out of it. I think it still comes out great. Plus you don't have to worry about ghosting and moving objects.

@ Lee C: Thanks! I will definitely be using those. Thanks a lot.

Looks bad ass dude!
That's really nice! I tried to create some HDR's a couple of times using i think it was a photoshop plugin by photomatix if something liek that exists ... but mine never turned out that nice... how many shots did you take for this pic?
I love HDR photos, though I haven't actually tried to shoot one of my own yet. I think having to do 3 seperate shots is the main drawback.
And also if you could effectively compile them in Photoshop would be great.

If this is something you want to get into i have posted some xmp files already that you can load into photomatix as a good starting point so you can see how the sliders affect your photos.
If you are totally new have a look at a quick video here : http://5mt.nfshost.com/gallery/ ( it's the one labelled HDR Tutorial )
And you can grab the XMP files from here : http://www.5mt.co.uk/decay/xmp_files/all_xmps.zip
One of the better things to do would be have a good look through my photostream of HDR on flickr as each photo normally has a link to the XMP file i used so you can have an idea of what yours will come out like.
I love HDR but as with everything like this everyones tastes are different.
Keep it up Abduzeedo :)

I like the girl =p
Beautiful work.
LOL who are these ghetto trash
I'm in love with HDR too.. I'm waiting for my tripod (birthday in one month) to stat making much more photos.. Pixelmator is much better than the function in photoshop for the HDR?
Anyway the girl is gorgeous.
It is just amazing. I also got in love with HDR. I can't wait to buy one good camera and start doing some of these incredible shots.
No just photomatix.
