just do a 15 second shutter in the dark… then wave the light around
check www.micahweber.com/portfolio then go to “the lighter experiment”
real quick HDR I made from San Fran…
TWISTIEZ!
I wish I could figure it out. ive been trying to pick up on hdr myself =/
Great googely moogely! It looks like you’ve got it figured out.
Treads4heads… I’ve never done it, but I’ve read that you take multiples of the same pic (think: tripod) at different settings, and then use photoshop to combine them.

quick way with an DSLR is to take one shot in raw then process it on a post processing program
the correct way: use your light meter in the camera and meter the darkest part of the shot, then the middle then the brightest and use those 3 as your settings. Use either photomatix or photoshop to merge them. I like to use photoshop and post edit after the merge for sharpness and contrast.

I’ve tried to do it a few times with CS2 and their HDR merge function but it never works very well. Most things just looks washed out.
i was always wondering if there was a merge function with photoshop
i tried an image like this before and the only way i knew how to do it was to copy the first pic and lay it over the sexcond one then invert the image so that way the 1st pic shows up again then you click on the masking tool then get the paintbrush in white which will allow you to draw stuff from the second pic onto the first one, if that makes any sense.
Is there a way to just merge images together like lay them one on top of the other without having to do it the way i just described?

Try exposing the pictures the way I said and only use 3. If you have a few that are too bright, it will get washed out.
JDM, there is an easier way to do it(kinda the way you said)… I’ll find the tutorial later.

That’s what the merge function in CS2 and Photomatix does. I’ve tried both. I took 3 pictures with different metering dark to light and the result wasn’t great.
On my way back from Cali…
HDR:
what is HDR anyways? just curious
and yeah the paint brush way with the masking i found on photoshop techniques forum or whatever its called shows you how to do alot of cool shit i did’t know how to do but i just have CS 8.0 abnd CS2 9.0
High Dynamic Range: Basically just being able to expose for both lights and darks.
