I'm playing with HDR photography and took aim at my '03 ST. We had a great sky today that really made the shot...

Sweet picture. I miss living out there, I lived in Idaho Falls for year back in '90. STuck out here in Pittsburgh,Pa. now. Mostly grew up out in Oregon,Washington. That's definitly a nice truck.:cool:
 
Since you showed me yours Ill show off mine...

Pretty hard to believe thats New Jersey .. I love HDR photos!!
 
Justin,



That looks really cool. :cool: What software did you use?



Stad95ST, Had to look it up myself.



High dynamic range imaging

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



An example of a rendering of an HDRI tone-mapped image in a New York City nighttime cityscape.

Tone-mapped image made from nine exposures of Trenn, Slovakia at night.In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.



High dynamic range imaging was originally developed in the 1930s and 1940s by Charles Wyckoff. Wyckoff's detailed pictures of nuclear explosions appeared on the cover of Life magazine in the mid 1940s. The process of tone mapping together with bracketed exposures of normal digital images, giving the end result a high, often exaggerated dynamic range, was first reported in 1988 by Zeevi, Ginosar and Hilsenrath.[1] Later introduction in 1993[2] resulted in a mathematical theory of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter that was published in 1995 by Steve Mann and Rosalind Picard.[3] In 1997 this technique of combining several differently exposed images to produce a single HDR image was presented to the computer graphics community by Paul Debevec.



This method was developed to produce a high dynamic range image from a set of photographs taken with a range of exposures. With the rising popularity of digital cameras and easy-to-use desktop software, the term HDR is now popularly used[4] to refer to this process. This composite technique is different from (and may be of lesser or greater quality than) the production of an image from a single exposure of a sensor that has a native high dynamic range. Tone mapping is also used to display HDR images on devices with a low native dynamic range, such as a computer screen.

 
I use Photomatix Pro and I use my own personal settings. The pic is taken on my Nikon Coolpix. What you do is take 3 separate pictures on 3 separate exposure settings. Then the software renders them into an HDR image. If you live near waterfalls they look amazing as HDR's.

Also, you will need a tripod because the camera cannot be moved or else " GHOSTING" of the photo will appear.



This site is pretty sweet and helped me out a bunch when I first started getting into HDR's
