![]() ![]() 2, 0, +2 and feed it into the software to get more out of it, but it clearly does still appear to work fairly well with one single exposure. In the case of the images above, these were single exposure captures which were fed through Skylum's Aurora HDR, if you wanted to get more out of the software you would typically capture multiple exposures (often called exposure brackets) e.g. Let the software improve the dynamic range, but don't push the clarity, detail and so on too far. In some cases the artistic vision may be to create a grungy look in which case then go for it, but I personally feel with normal landscape images, HDR can be used to improve the images with a “less is more” approach. I applied the default settings but then increased the clarity and details which has left the photo looking cartoonish and not at all realistic which detracts from the overall image.įigure 3: Improved HDR image, note Skylum's Aurora HDR has pulled details out of the shadows to increase the dynamic range but because I have not pushed the clarity or the details it looks more realistic than Figure 2.Īs you can see, HDR can be used to improve the detail and dynamic range within an image fairly sucessfully, but care needs to be taken to ensure that the image does not get pushed too far and lead to an image which does not look realistic, and perpetuates the bad rap that HDR gets. I have not applied any HDR processing to this image.įigure 2: Overdone HDR image from the Pinicles at Phillip Island Australia.
