It still takes me a while to get a good HDR picture. Not only because of a large space of parameters I have to search to make sure I produced the best result, but mostly because I cannot tell for sure if the picture I am taking at the moment will be a good source for the algorythm when I sit in front of my monitor. Maybe it will come with time…
Look at what I’ve done.
Ok, after some experiments and with my friend Albert I think I nailed the whole HDR thing down. I take under exposed (exposure: -2.0) picture, store it in RAW format and then create 9 exposures (from -2.0 to 2.0) out of it. Merging those into one is the hardest part because I have to play with rather nonintuitive parameters of the algorithm, but the result is worth it. It might not be the best HDR images I’ve seen, and they might look a little bit artificial, but still the result is better than I expected. Check it out!
