HDR stands for high-dynamic-range imaging. It is a set of techniques used by photographers to capture a more detailed image with a greater dynamic range. Its a good technique used to make a picture more detailed and vibrant. I like taking HDR images because they turn out better then normal pictures. They have more detail and have a lot of color in them.
The first step to creating an HDR photo is to find a great spot to take the image and making sure that you are taking the picture at the best time. Second is to take the several pictures needed by starting at -3 exposure and going up by one all the way up to +3 exposure. Next you have to upload the pictures to your computer. From there open up PS5.5 and Merge to HDR Pro. And fine tune your image in Camera Raw.
For my experiment image I chose to take it of my sister in her room. It was a little difficult because there wasn't enough light and when ever I tried to take the picture it would turn out really red and pink. In the end I was able to take good pictures and was able to make this.
I also did a landscape HDR image right outside of my school at dawn. The pictures turned out great with the sun rise in the background.
The first step to double exposure is loading a portrait image along with two to three other images. Then on the portrait dodge everything around the face. After dodging the image right click on the picture in the layer bar and select Blending Options and then change your blend mode off of normal. Then do that to all of your pictures. The reason for making double exposures is to make normal pictures cool.
My first image is a picture of a tree. This symbolizes my love of nature and my adventures spirit. The second picture is a view out side of the school. This represents two things. One, it represents that I like to take time and enjoy the view. Also, It represents that I spend a lot of time at school.
