High Dynamic Range pictures are combinations of frames taken at different exposure settings. Software is used to choose the portions of each exposure that provide the most detail. I use my camera's bracketing option to take the three frames (one at standard exposure, one at two f-stops below that, and one at two f-stops above the first). Then I use Photomatix Pro to combine the frames and yield the final result.
More from St. Patrick's
I received so many comments from folks who'd seen the photo of St. Patrick's Cathedral in my last post that I thought I'd share some more. If you enjoy these three, there are several others to see at my New York City gallery.
