HDR

A collection of some of my HDR work. I am extremely new to HDR and this is just my gallery of my experiments and such with HDR and different settings on different objects and scenes.

  • Purple People Darkness<br /> This was quickly taken from my car. A series of 3 exposures. I am just learning how to use Photomatrix and do some HDR stuff. This is one of my first quick results. I like the sharpness in the bridge.

  • Cincinnati Night HDR<br /> I took a quick 9 frame HDR of Cincinnati while I was out taking some panoramics. It alright, but as I learned, HDR's at night are not the greatest and hard to get to look good. I do love the water though.

Turned out pretty good for being a three frame HDR taking handheld in my kayak. Gives me the hope that I can continue to shoot like that from my kayak and get great results.

  • Muddy Hell<br /> The river is way up and it is obviously flowing and emptying out of the Cincinnati pool rather quickly. This is an HDR shot of the water as it hits the bridge peir. It makes the water actually back up and be about a foot or two higher at the up stream end of the bridge peir. Then the water just toils and turns its way around.

  • Body Cast<br /> One of the many examples of a body cast that was created when pouring molding into a gap in the ash in Pompei, Italy to create what the being was doing at the time of death. This man was using his hand to cover his face to try to not suffocate due to the volcanic ash. It is a sad room to go through, and see casts that include these people's bones inside them, and a dog and pig as well doing what they were doing as they died. Very somber.

  • Hidden Gem<br /> I just thought this was a beautiful spot as I was kayaking down the Little miami River I glanced over and saw the bridge with the creek and the drop off as it entered the Little Miami River. I am sure I could do better if I was out of my boat with some waders on but I shot this as an HDR as I tried to not capsize over rocks as I went through a string of rapids while holding my camera I would rather not destoy. Either way I refused to go in the chilly water. Need to head back in the summer months and wade to take a better shot. Would look much better with leaves on the brush and trees.

  • Test<br /> This was a 5 shot HDR test using my camera and my laptop. My camera will only do 3 shot HDR's so to do more I can only do intervals of 3 and do ti manually changing the starting exposure with one on each side. My laptop can do up to a 15 shot HDR automatically when communicating with my camera. I am surprised how much the 5 bracket HDR makes the shot look more real like it really was than the 3 shot one does. Pretty good stuff.

  • Strength of a Tornado<br /> The tornado that hit Crittenden and Piner killed several people, and here its strength is shown. This truck use to have a bed and grill. It was an old truck but looked nice other than the replaced hood. It is banged up from debris, is missing its bed now and the windshield was litterly peeled away as it is protective glass. The back window was just simply blown out, but the front one broke as it was forced to peel away under the strength of the tornado.<br /> <br /> This is an HDR image that I shot while I was surveying this property to recover the boundary for the family that survived in this half basement as their brick home disappeared above them.

It is actually two sets of fencing where two properties use to meet. Also you can see how ridiculously clear the water is and at this spot you are over 7 miles from the springs.

  • Eagle Falls Low<br /> This was my favorite view of the falls. I was as far back as I could go without falling off into the raging river behind me just past Cumberland Falls. This is just after the sun cracked out over the opposite ridgeline to make daybreak.<br /> <br /> I know little to none about shooting waterfalls, but I do know how to wing it. Getting into photography while in Florida = no waterfall shooting (unless man made at an attraction). Anyways hope you enjoy.
