The new camera has some interesting features - particularly its well-developed set of possibilities for HDR effects. The above photo, for instance, is actually made from 5 separate exposures at different shutter speeds. These were then fused (in Photomatix) to produce a more balanced exposure while at the same time retaining and strengthening the detailed contrast. In this case I did the fusion in post-processing. However, the camera also produces finished tone-mapped HDR images from multiple exposures and we'll have a look at one next Friday.

What they can do with cameras and photo software is amazing isn't it? This is a lovely picture!
ReplyDeleteStunning clarity and depth!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed at all the "post-exposure" work that goes into this.
An ideal angle for the shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a fine photograph. I have not fooled around with effects like this, but it is tempting.
ReplyDeleteStunning shot! So you think Photomatix is a good one to purchase? Been on the fence for some time, I have the trial version.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your kind comments.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie - I've been using Photomatix for a couple of years - it does what I want but I have not tried any of the newer HDR software programs. There may be better ones out there.
