Do you wondering how they create HDR photos? You want know something about this effect?
Let me introduce you to some basic information about HDR.



HDR-High Dynamic Range is a computer processing technique that allows you to increase the dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.The effect is much better than in traditional photography. HDR allows you to combine multiple exposures in such a way as to bring out the full range of tonal values ​​in the scene while maintaining detail. Photos after treatment HDR look "fabulously," which increases their attractiveness.


For this type of treatment alone is not enough, unfortunately, the camera, still need software for HDR rendering. There are many programs on the market for HDR processing. Personally, I tested two Photoshop CS2 and Machinery. The latter is by Polish developer and I definitely fell like it.

In Photoshop CS2 is necessary to consolidate several shots in RAW format. Each of the shots to be captured at different shutter speeds. In addition, a tripod is needed to picture the same scene were not addressed. Another treatment is a combination of them in a 32-bit HDR. A lot of work ending often far from the expected result. In my opinion working in Photoshop CS2 is for professionals who know how to properly use this tool. The second program called Machinery is more affordable to use. The program was created for the amateurs because of its transparency and ease of use. Nevertheless, the pros use it depending on what they want to achieve in a given scene. Machinery I recommend starting the adventure lovers especially with HDR. Here you do not have a tripod, it is not necessary and RAW format support is very intuitive. Capture one shot in JPG rendering it according to taste and save as HDR. There are many Polish sites for HDR imaging.They presented photographs of different authors, breathtaking beaches and cause a desire to create such images. I am convinced that after many attempts, each of you will be master of HDR photography.
