HDR Fun: High Dynamic Range Sunday Funday Shoot

Hello,

HDR(High Dynamic Range) Photography is the process of taking 2 pictures of the same object, one over exposed and one under exposed, and merging them on the computer to create incredibly vibrant pictures.

On Sunday June 5th we will be doing a 6 hour practice run on a couple of different techniques starting at 2 PM and ending at 8 PM.

Bring any digital still camera, a tripod, and a laptop.

Also make sure to bring sunblock and an umbrella because we will be shooting out side for about half the day and since the weather is shall we say "Fickle" in Michigan.

Last thing, we have some of the software as well so don't go out and buy anything yet.

For more information on how this photo technique works check out the following links:
