Visit to Concrete City with fellow photographers: Curtis Solanick, Brian Bukeavich, Lewis De Joseph, Marty Straub and Dave Cohen.
Since purchasing MacPhun's new HDR software, AuroraHDR Pro over the holidays, I made sure to capture plenty of bracketed exposures to jump head-first into the program (I've used HDRsoft's Photomatix Pro dating back to late 2006)

View in FULL size. Clouds rise above the crops in Spreckels, CA (Salinas Valley). A three shot HDR (6 stop variance) used to just produce the rich colors and bring the foreground to ilfe. This is not something I would normally photograph, but the leading lines of the crops rows caught my attention. The HDR effect gave some surreal motion to the clouds.
This image took me a while to capture as I had to set my tripod in the sand in between sets of waves and wait for the water to flow out till I got the glassy surface I was looking for. I wanted to put a different spin on a world famous Skyline, Surfer's Paradise, Australia.

So many are asking me about Photomatix HDR. So here's the HDR fact and some guidance.
HDR stands for high dynamic range. You can get more information from www.hdrsoft.com. There's also a flickr group HDR ( flickr.com/groups/hdr/ ) that is focused with this new technique. Photoshop CS2 had HDR rendering too but my preference is to use Phtotomatix.
Now, this is not a replacement for graphic software like Photoshop. HDR is using multiexposure pictures and blending them into one great picture. But still, it all depends on the person who is using Photomatix. Like you either want more sugar or less for your coffee I guess.
HDR can be very good and very addictive. And take care ...

The Shot
3 exposure shot (-0.7,0,+0.7) using my D200 and a Nikon 24-70mm F2.8 lens on a Manfroto tripod
Opened in Photomatix and processed with detail enhancer.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The sky was darkened and the noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.

This is Bondi Beach during blue hour when the sounds of the busy day are coming to a decrescendo and the ocean waves begin to drown out the city. Natural channels have been carved out in the rocky landscape for seawater to drain in and out of them with the tides.

I spent last weekend in Vegas, I didn't come back with any money, but at least I got some photos.
I processed this with the HDRsoft 32-bit Lightroom Plug-in, then used Lightroom and Photoshop.

view is a mere 45-60 minutes out my front door. It is just a glimpse of Australia's Great Diving Range, which is the third longest sets of mountains in the world. They stretch on for 3500km and include many amazing natural formations.
I'm really happy with how the treatment of this harsh lighting turned out as it is an uphill battle producing a HDR from this time of the day, but this one ended up vibrant and glowing.

You've gotta see it LARGE on black!
Captured with a Canon EOS 30D and a Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens.
Location: Tanner Bridge Road, Jefferson City, Missouri
This was a planned HDR scene I captured about a year ago. I've been spending a lot of time with Photoshop CS4 and ACR 5 lately and thought about re-working this piece and I'm glad I did. I have a tutorial about how I created the original HDR image here; however, after using my new process, I need to update the steps.
In short, I used to simply load my Canon 30D RAW files directly into Photomatix, tone map, then save as 16bit tiff. Then load the 16bit tiff into Photoshop to do further enhancing such as noise removal.
Now I process each RAW in ACR 5, apply Noiseware Pro NR and save each frame as a 16bit tiff, then I open each tiff with Photomatix, merge, tone map, save again as 16bit tiff, open in Photoshop, apply default Noiseware Pro NR, USM (radius 1.1, amt: 40%), then save as 8bit jpg, which is what you see above. This rendition is far better than my first version (much cleaner, sharper, and the tonal depth is better too).
My first attempt at HDR... any good ???
I have downloaded the trail version of Photomatix....to try it out for awhile to see if I like it or not...sorry for the watermarks on the photos but this is just a test using HDR....I did take many bracketed photos over the weekend as the clouds and lights seemed to be the perfect chance to test this out....
This is a three exposure HDR image.
Do you like this version ??? I may invest in the program a little bit down the road..

his was that moment in between golden hour and blue hour where the sky is just losing its warm glow and night is settling in. Sydney has so many exciting locations to explore and I loved this view of King St. Wharf over the water like this. Sydney is a glow at this time of the evening and the Pyrmont Bridge was busy with pedestrians heading home from work.

Way over the top with this one, felt I needed an hdr saturation overload - and I just loved the sky, red bricks and cobbled stone road in this one.
3 RAW bracketted images processed in Adobe's Camera Raw 4.2 and HDRSoft's Photomatix. The image is a little soft in the foreground this is because the camera was set to manual focus - and I didn't notice - doh!
...must get my eyes tested
This is one of the Alpine huts built to provide shelter for hikers on the overland trail from lake St. Claire to Cradle Mountain. It's elevation is about 1250m and the winds are icy cold up here in Winter. As soon as the sun drops behind the mountains the temperature plummets. This was shot at about 4 in the afternoon and waiting for sunset at 5:10 would have been dangerous without better suited gear as the hike back down to Lake Dove is at least 90 minutes even on the steeper track, which I took. Great experience to be up here, but could have gotten better weather ! Next time :-P

Back in Brisbane and shot this balmy evening panorama of the Storey Bridge...
HDR Bracket shot with Nikon D800. Im pretty happy with the colours I got. It took me a long time to edit this image because each building required my individual attention for each layer of the HDR editing process. I wanted even the fine details to be correct exposure, e.g single balconies on buildings which you can zoom right in on with the Nikon D800, so the image ended up being a 2-3 hour edit.

The Story
At this time of year the autumn colours are visible throughout the Lake District, with leaves turning into the most amazing bronze tones.
This shot was taken looking towards Ambleside from the car park of The Low Wood Hotel on the shore of Lake Windermere.
The Shot
3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from my D200 with a Nikon 70-200mm handheld.
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and contrast adjusted using curves.
The noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and the shadow added around the image.

This is the Gateway entrance to Kings Cross in Sydney. This area is now quite a hip and trendy place compaired to its darker past. Loved this huge coke neon sign so I waited till lots of traffic passed to get a good exposure.

Been seeing HDR all around the place on Flickr and was tempted to try it :) my first HDR... used one shot (adjusted exposure and created 2 shots using CS3 based on the original photograph in the comment) Photomatix did the rest...) pretty cool to play around with I should say :)

Set of shots taken with 3 exposures each, merged to a single High Dynamic Range shot, aka HDR.
used PhotoMatix software. Much better than Photoshop CS3's built-in HDR feature.

I have wanted to start sharing photography tips for a while but it took me a while to feel like I have anything to share. At school I have had more time to research photography and I have learned a thing or two :P Today I will bring you the basics of how to take a well-balanced image (exposure wise). To begin, our cameras are unable to capture a scene with the same range that our eye can. The two most popular ways to get past this are a) taking multiple exposures and then either blending them in photoshop or with HDR software such as Photomatix, or b) using filters such as a grad ND (half clear, half dark filter) over the sky to even out the exposure. Just a quick note on Photomatix, you can try the program for free, it just stamps your images once you are done so I encourage you to do so. There are pros and cons to both multiple exposure and filters but I am sold on the filter route (even though I don’t have any grad ND’s :P ) and here is why. With filters it is much easier to achieve results in camera, this means that a) it is easier to be realistic (unless you are really talented with HDR software) and b) you get to spend more time in the field and less on the computer editing. Even if you don’t want to read all the words, just check out the difference in the comparison pictures from Darwin Wiggett (probably Canada’s top landscape photographer) it’s mind-blowing! I know that there are many people out there who think that HDR is “cheating” but I say, as long as the image looks good who cares how you got it? We should be looking at the image and not the process behind it.
As always, if you have any questions feel free to ask!

This is the QVB in Sydney, Australia. I shot this from the middle level to get the cool perspective and also used a wide angle lens to capture as much of the building as I could :-) I had set my camera, Nikon D800, up on my tripod to get this photograph but the security guards came over and politely asked me to pack it all up, as apparently tripods are a security risk. I attempted to argue that I would be quick and just take a couple of shots but these guys were the stubborn types! I guess they get this all day though so, so I packed up my gear and had to attempt taking my bracketed images handheld. I ended up stopping it down, increasing the ISO and only taking a 3 bracket exposure instead of my normal 5 or 7. I have also done a different edit to my normal HDR workflow and did a Digital blend.
