Lately I have picked up taking pictures again. Here are my first pictures that I created in High Dynamic Range (HDR). As you might know, HDR pictures are created from three or more pictures, with exposures at least one stop apart. I used the manual setting and BKT (bracketing) on my camera. Pictures were taken in JPG, not RAW. Of course I used a tripod and the self timer set to 5 seconds to prevent ending up with different pictures.

The program I used to create these HDR images is Photomatix Pro 3. I did not change ANY setting in that program. I just uploaded the pictures and clicked “create HDR”. I am sure once you get in that program, you are able to make the pictures look better. The original pictures are, well, original. :) Nothing was changed or enhanced.


Here are some pictures I took in an old leather factory (built in the late 19th century) two weeks ago.
To be able to compare, I added the picture that has the “perfect” exposure, according to my good ol' Nikon D70s. The first one is the original, the second the HDR.

Here are two more HDR pictures I took a week ago hiking in the most southern province Limburg:

Dramtic effects. Love the outdoor shots, but can see too much color loss on the indoor shots. I like to see HDR salvage difficult shots, but I have to admit, those landscapes are awesome.

Thanks you all for your comments. This was just a first step for me in the world of HDR photography, about four weeks ago. I learned a few lessons along the way... :)
