HDR Photography

HDR means High Dynamic Range, it creates photos with gorgeous, impossible detail and clarity. Also, instead of taking one photo, HDR uses three photos, taken with different exposure, they can combine all of the dark and light side in a photo and make a new photo with a balance lightning. It used for when you took a really nice photo but the lightning is bad. I really like this setting, it might takes a long time to combine all the lightning together to give you a great photo, but it is worth it, trust me!

To create an HDR image step-by-step, you open Photoshop, go to file, automate and then click on merge with HDR pro. A chart will show up, click on browse to find the images that you took, then drag all of them to put into that chart, when you did that it will take awhile to load, because Photoshop is using its ''brain'' to work hard. You will see a lot of options on the right hand side when Photoshop is done with its job. Yes, it is totally different from the automatic HDR functions! You can edit however you want in Photoshop but the automatic one it just makes the lightning balance.

I took a landscape picture of a look out in my property. I wanted to show everyone some of the beauty things around them. I can't still believe that I am living on a beautiful island with so many amazing things surround it. For the portrait, I took a picture of my mom, I should have told her to not put her hand on the coconut tree so it would make it easier for me to put her in with the landscape photo without cutting her hand off! Anyway, if I get to do it again next time, it would be better, I learned a lesson ;).
