HDR Photography Workshop w/ Trey Ratcliff and Scott Bourne
February 28, 2010 | Filed Under Star Fruit Productions
Shot by Blue Tree PhotoI was invited by the AWESOME photographer and media guru, Scott Bourne, to attend an HDR photography workshop. Trey Ratcliff and Scott Bourne led the workshop. I think we will be seeing more of this type of work and I'm so glad I got to learn about it!
What is HDR photography you ask? Here is wikipedia's definition;
high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminances between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.
Basically it allows us to see in photos what our eyes see in life!
The software we used in the workshop was called photomatix, you can download a free trial on their site. We also used photoshop to do some additional tweaking. You can buy Trey's book which I found fun and informative here.
