How did you do that then from a standard photo? Is it just from a filter in photoshop or something???

 

Its done by bracketing the exposure as Gixxer said, you take 3 pictures (or more) at different exposures and use them together to compose an HDR image. Try googling it or hitting wikipedia for a quick run down on it.

Gix is talking about a single photo,

 

you just use photoshop to make 3 photos, one under exposed, one correct and one over exposed.

 

then you merge them in photoshop or photomatix to create those types of images.

 

gix did you get them of bcf bike forum? cause there is someone on there that does it all from one photo.

 

Some things work well as HDR, some don't.

 

Landscapes and cityscapes work the best.

 

cars and bikes are usualy HDR'd past the limit (i agree my jay shoot was too edited)

Cheers for the comments :teeth:

I only used 3 exposures, will probably go with 5 next time though.

I agree with comments of Landscapes and Citiscapes working the best.

Hopefully try some more at the weekend.

I'm using the trial version of Photomatix (then cloning out the watermarks).

Had a play with this tonight - but havent taken multiple exposures so had to make do with adjusting the exposure of the raw file after the event.

 

Here is the original photo taken whilst on Veligandu on Honeymoon:

And after a play at HDR:

Will be trying with actual different exposures instead of the artificial exposure adjustment on the raw file. Seems to work quite well :)
