HDR Photography
About… |
|
The problem with any camera is that it cannot expose very bright and very dark elements in a single scene. Simply stated; our cameras lack “Dynamic Range”. With the advent of High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing a few years back, photographers have crossed that barrier. You can now create images which contain amazing details throughout the complete tonal range.
This workshop is all about HDR photography and focuses on all important aspects pertaining to setting your camera and the use of the powerful Photomatix software to create stunning HDR images. The course starts with a thorough introduction about tonal areas and High Dynamic Range processing; where after participant get to take their own hdr images under the supervision of a facilitator. Thereafter, the images are downloaded on your computer and you will be taken through various processes, step-by-step.
