Hi! I was captured by how HDR is used to enhance digital photos, that is why I had to try it for myself.

This is the Original Photo
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/8541/dsc0070ng9.jpg

And this is the photo rendered with HDR
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/8811/flagyx0.jpg

I only used 1 jpeg file to achive the HDR picture, next time I will shoot in RAW and remember to bring my tripod.

Please help a newbie improve his skills. C&C's are most welcome.

1 jpeg file to achieve HDR? Is that possible? hmm... hoy Ronald enlighten me naman sa technique mo:Grin:

What did you use to create this HDR? It looks like you just increased the contrast on this image, no High Dynamic range was actually shown in the 2nd image. The shadows in the structure should brighten up in HDR, here it even got darker still.

Next time try using you're automatic Exposure Compensation and take 3 consecutive photos at 1 stop intervals. -1 0 +1 , and use these images for your HDR.

hey I had my first HDR too but it's a night shot of -1 0 +1 exposure, then merged using PS CS

Agree with Peter. The original photo is better than the HDR attempt. Minimum of 3 different exposures are needed but more is better. what software did you use?

Here's one of my HDR. I used 7 different exposures of 1 stop increments.

Not really very hard. you just have to take lots of photos. RAW is best but I've seen some killer hdrs out there from Jpegs (I just don't know how they do it). Good luck and keep on trying.

ninja edit: I've also had success using just one raw file to create an "enhanced" photo.

@Ronald,

Agree with the others... Sorry, its not HDR with my photo (creating 3 copies of the same photo and under/over exposing the others by x number of stops). It defeats the purpose of HDR which is supposed to merge the ranges of the over and under exposed photos.

Try to use a tripod, try to use a 3-5 exposure bracketting (most d/SLR's have this). I suggest +/- .5-1 stop differences in the stops. The more photos, the wider the "zone" coverage, the better... :)

Wow! Nice photo... Now, this is what we call HDR. :)

Lemme share my HDR pic from shots I took at the Manila Memorial Park EB.

You can create a near 3D effect with some post processing then HDR merging.

hi vicoy,

nice to see you again in the thread. how do you do hdr at night? it seems hard to achieve the 0 exposure at night. so is this +1 0 -1 exposure as well

Thank you for the C&C's. I am just playing with HDR for now, with the samples you showed me, then I am really challenged to learn more about HDR

This is the procedure that I did:
1.) Used an old jpg file from my AWM shoot.
2.) Got the -2 and +2 exposure in Lightroom
3.) Combined the Images using Photomatix Base (not Pro)

And this is the result (toning note adjusted in photomatix):
http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/8509/flag2dx2.jpg

The posted HDR picture on my first post, I played around with the tones.

Oh btw, I forgot to mention, I am reading how HDR works and I just got curious how I can extend the capabilities of the HDR rendering using 1jpg only versus multiple shots taken by the camera.

Again, thank you for the C&C, this will help me hone my skills more.

i agree w/ everybody best way is to bracket your shots to attain diff exposure.
some tries using 1 jpeg picture. i just made several copy of this picture, assign different exposure value, and tonemapping using photomatrix.

guys, newbie here. pardon my ignorance but what is hdr?

Noriel, It stands for HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE

It's a techniques that allows a photographer to capture far greater range of exposures . It tries to represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows.

Thanks Cesar, so you need to shoot in different level of exposure and merged them.
How do you process that in photo shop. ( what steps if I may ask )

Yah.... I like to know too. How do U process this in photoshop? Where can U get a " photomatix " software? Can it be downloaded? Thanx:)

Wow armand daming exposure nyan ha, anim. care to share the exposures aside from the 0? Did you use photomatix as well?

hi vicoy,

nice to see you again in the thread. how do you do hdr at night? it seems hard to achieve the 0 exposure at night. so is this +1 0 -1 exposure as well

Magkasama tayo when I took the shots, remember? :) What I did was take several bulb shots at different timed exposures between 30 seconds to nearly 2 minutes.

Magkasama tayo when I took the shots, remember? :) What I did was take several bulb shots at different timed esposures between 30 seconds to nearly 2 minutes.

yup i remember that, dyan ata nahulog ung cam mo:Grin: so its just a matter of setting time difference since you can't get the proper exposure right? hirap kasi coz we are shooting in almost total darkness. wish ko nga sana may part 2. hihi:)

Hehehe... You remembered alright!

Yup! You've got the option of using auto-bracketing (which will usually produce only 3 shots) or doing your own brackets by manually controlling the exposure (the number of shots will totally depend on you).

However, I found-out that for our night shoot at MMP, it was better to use the time lapse to control the exposure. :)

Red. the interval of the exposures of those shots were not distributed equal. I used remote kasi to trigger the shots, then tsambahan na lng exposures in secs, medyo madilim pa kasi ang place that time, it was early morning around 5:20 am. Makulimlim pa kasi katatapos lng umulan.

Hi Ronald! Since you are only using a single pic and digitally creating your bracketed exposures in post process, why not try blurring certain areas in one of your bracketed pics (like a line of trees in the background or foreground). See what happens after you merge in HDR... :)

My second try. Still the place is makulimlim with panaka-nakang pag-ulan. I hate it, the sun didn't came out.

Will try to consider that Vicoy, thanks for the tips. I am really new in learning this process, that is why I am just playing around with one jpg, I would love to try three different images with different exposures, and see what result I would get.

Wow! That's a very nice output!

'Di po ako yung magaling at HDR ha... I've only done a few HDR experiments. Still got lots to learn... :)

Here's a suggestion, when you bracket your exposure values, try to play around with your depth of field, as well (you might use a lens that can allow you to shoot with a shallow DOF). I find that a blurred background on one bracketed shot can do wonders when you merge in HDR.

Vicoy, could you comment on my National Museum HDR posted on page 3, please.

Vicoy, could you comment on my National Museum HDR posted on page 3, please.


Oist! 'Di ako expert ha... :) Baka ma-sita ako. :Scared:

I noticed there's something like a hot spot in the middle above the steps. Is that an area where you dodged the pic in one post-processed bracket shot? I guess that's one of the pitfalls of using only one shot and post processing your extra shots for HDR merging. You may tend to over-do the post processing. Also, that bus in the corner doesn't go well with the shot. You might try cropping it out.

Thanks for the comments Vicoy. No dodging was done, this shot was taken around 11 am so the sun was really briliant when I took this shot. I did not crop the picture first because I just want to check lang on HDR rendering. And yeah, maybe that is the output you get when you try to make daya. Again, thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. Already logged your comments on what to check, for my next tries.

No problem partner! :)

It's a pleasure to be of some assistance to fellow enthusiasts...

Hmmm.. getting interested in HDR huh?
What got you interested in HDRI? Do you feel your camera/sensor is inadequate in capturing the image you want/need? Or are you just fascinated with those colorful images that are described as HDR but in fact they're not?

Im just fascinated with those colorful images. Iba kasi yung output nya.

1 jpeg file?? means 1 shot? how could it be an HDR if it's only 1 shot?

1 jpeg file?? means 1 shot? how could it be an HDR if it's only 1 shot?

You can, just make other versions wherein you PP the photo for less and more exposure... but this is not the best way to do it, bracketing is still best. :)

HDR with one jpeg/RAW photo?

will it be better/offer an advantage over using the shadow/highlight command?

HDR with one jpeg/RAW photo?

will it be better/offer an advantage over using the shadow/highlight command?

That's exactly what I'm doing, hehehe. Too lazy to do a real HDR yet. :D


Just photoshop and the shadow/highlight tool:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1409/557048244_c66a82ff6b.jpg

Hi Peter! ( again :D )

yeah. i think doing HDR on a single capture offers no real advantage over using the shadow/highlight command.

here's an HDR composite....5 exposures in all....

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/200/524620451_e42d54704d.jpg
the tonal range in this scene is simply impossible to encompass with today's camera sensor tech (without using a bevy of split NGDs). i think one RAW capture will be insufficient.

I think it will give a better result than the shadow and highlight adjustment tool. As the exposure will be the same throughout the image. In S/H, I notice halos forming around dark object against the sky.

HDR with one jpeg/RAW photo?

will it be better/offer an advantage over using the shadow/highlight command?

HDR with one jpeg/RAW photo?

will it be better/offer an advantage over using the shadow/highlight command?

The images I tested on are just 1 jpeg. If its better or if it offers any advantage? I dont think there is no advantage or it does not offer anything, it is best if you just use the shadow/highlight command.

As I've said, I am still learning HDR, I am not discounting the power of multiple images with different exposures. As researched on the web, to create a true HDR file/image you must have multiple images with different exposure settings.

I only have jpeg files with me, that is why I am really itching to try it on the real thing. I am still learning and experimenting.

If you visit my multiply site, there are other "HDR" images there that you could take a look at.

can someone please share the workflow for this? hahaha i have cs3 and photomatix tone mapping.:) let's say i have 3 raw shots (-1, 0, +1). then what?

thanks!

I'm no expert or anything, far from it actually but from the articles i've read about hdr you really need to take several exposures. It isn't called hdr kung pinaglaruan mo lang yung isang image kasi the dynamic range that a single shot can encompass is very limited especially if you don't use raw.

Jpeg's on camera are only 16bit (or 8bit images lang ba?) and compared to that of raws mas malaki yung dynamic range na nakukuha sa raw.

I'd suggest taking 3 or more shots using 2 stop intervals (-2, 0, +2) or paglaruan ninyo.

Eto po yung isang article it also mentions the postproccessing workflow in photoshop. http://www.naturescapes.net/072006/rh0706_1.htm

My first HDR try, used three images (-2, 0, +2)...don't know if I did it right...

It's always better to have 3 different exposures or it's alternative... RAW file (Set -2, 0, and +2 exposures on Photoshop and save as 3 different files). still if you just find yourself working with just 1 jpeg image, load it to photomatix (or similar software) and create 3 images with different tone map settings (one dark, one bright, one neutral) and then do the layers on photoshop + in photoshop, it always pays to adjust the curves, shadows/highlights, and do selective color (by adding more black to each color) when you do HDR.

this image is done using 1 jpeg only.

Arthur, Both photos were taken with 1 JPG file, save it 2 times in photoshop with +2 -2 exposures, then merging it using photomatix pro (tone mapping as well) its hard to explain on how I set my tone mapping in photomatix since we all have different taste.

Very nice HDR shots :)

Mike i think the Hdr is kinda too strong for my taste ...i liked the framing of the 4th photo though...

Yup. I thought so too. But the takes of the others came out very good. I bracketed each take with 5 shots using +/- 1 exposure in jpeg. Maybe shooting it in raw would change it a bit. Anyway, thanks for your c&c...gotta practice some more:)

Hi All,

My share. Taken from southeast side of Harbor View resto at Manila Bay.

Phew.... Ang hirap!!!! (Hardship!!!) Took me two afternoons to get a near-passable result. Posted a similar image i an earlier thread.

Workflow:

1. The shoot: Handheld (using matameter and tantyameter to search for nodal point), AEB +-1 (or 3EVs), mid-afternoon
2. Panorama: Panoramafactory, manual ID of control points
3. Image alignment: Photoshop, auto align the images and get a reasonable crop. Was a bit lucky here.
4. HDR: Photomatix with some tone mapping. My first time to use this app, so lots of Hawaiian Method (hula-hula) used here.

Arthur,

Thanks. I still need lots of practice to get things right. Can't imagine how I could make a career out of this, yet.

1 jpeg file to achieve HDR? Is that possible? hmm... hoy Ronald enlighten me naman sa technique mo:Grin:


I think Yes you can still achieve HDR in Jpeg file, using CS3 by adjusting three diff exposure usign curves and combing it again using HDR tools... correct me if I'm wrong :Mad:

You can't achieve HDR from a jpeg image. A Jpeg image contains only 8-bit of data. You need 32-bit of data for HDR imaging.

Mitzi,

For us (read: me), innocentis in HDR, how do the experts determine if a photo has been HDR-ed or simply processd using PS's other functions?

Would you have links toarticles on how to achieve HDR-like results using PS?

Thanks.

question: how come when i tried using hdr for my pics, an error msg that says "not enough dynamic range" appears? i tried doing up to 5 different exposures but the same msg keeps on appearing.

btw, conversion is done thru cs2.

another question... can we do hdr sa scene with some moving objects like cars?

another question... can we do hdr sa scene with some moving objects like cars?

Yes but you have to remove the ghosting/multiplicity later in post processing. Some software can detect moving object(s) and remove it automatically.

not HDR.

Dani,

i like your shots. how'd you make youre you got tat extra two shots for the hdr without jiggling the cam? my gear can conly take 3 via AEB. to take two more with different f/ settings, I would need to turn a knob in my cam, which could upset the frame.

thanks

thanks dan,

try using your sturdy tripod but make sure you set everything to manual (focus, meter, etc.). just like chris had mentioned, take 3 exposures first and adjust the other 2 accordingly.

my latest....

photomatix. 3 exposures +2, 0, -2 is enough. play around with the Tone Mapping,
Pay attention to Light Smoothing. For this shot I used 4.
MicroContrast set to Max.
MicroSmoothing to 3.
Whiteclip to 5%
Black Clip to .153%
Gamma to 1.10.

After that I go to photoshop and play with levels, contrast and lower the saturation

For this one I increased brightness, and reduced black clip

Hi guys!

I'm fairly new to the concept of HDR. Only found out through reading this thread from start to finish.

First of all, let me just say that your shots are AWESOME! Seeing the quality of the output here has inspired me to start trying HDR as well.


Just one question though (and pardon me if this'll sound like a super noob question), I read in one of the posts on this thread that you can't do HDRs using JPEGs because they are only 8-bit images. Is this true? Wanted to confirm 'cause I just might try HDR-ing this weekend, and I need to know if I have to switch over to RAW ('cause I always shoot JPEG).

Thanks in advance for the assistance. :Grin:

Nice. Looks like CG to me :)

Thanks bro!

Wow, great colors! TFS mga bro's.

Hi guys!

Just one question though (and pardon me if this'll sound like a super noob question), I read in one of the posts on this thread that you can't do HDRs using JPEGs because they are only 8-bit images.



Technically, Yes.

Jpeg can only store 8-bit of data. Even RAW is only 12-bit though you save it as 16-bit TIFF. An HDR image requires 32-bit of data. So jpeg, and even RAW file from DSLR is not enough. What you see here posted as "HDR" image is just a "fake" or "pseudo" tonemapped image using HDR softwares.

Check this thread for more info and discussion.

Hi Jay,

Here's a link to a site I visited a couple of days ago. It gives a backgrounder on HDR, and also discusses the HDR workflow using both Photomatix and CS.

my first try with help from this site

no option for bracketing on my cam so I did multiple shots in different stops, this one from 5 diff shots, no tripod just put on top of a post then used photomatix to merge them to HDR then tonemap...

noob question... how do i bracket my shots if i dont have AEB feature on may camera? do i just manually change the shutter speed? and not the apperture so i dont change the DOF? TIA!:)

noob mode. what's HDR and how is it done? I mean, is it done on photoshop or something? Or do you have standard settings for it?

here's mine. still learning to shoot hdr.

what is the best settings for a good hdr? manual, shutter, program etc.

single shot in raw and just adjusted exposure levels to make a series of multiple exposure shots in jpeg then merged using photomatix

will this count? :)
