These photos are all the end result of combining several photos together. I am not going to show you the before photos and if you want to know more about process you can look at my earlier post on HDRI. Still new to this type of photography I made some mistakes but here are a few of the ones that I thought came out pretty well and I hade fun creating. Enjoy!

OK, the last one is a bit over-processed. I discovered that taking HDR images with people is difficult but I’m having lots of fun experimenting with this process. Most of these were taken hand-held without a tripod and I’m still learning how to tweak the various settings. However these photos make the normal photos look so boring it makes me want to take HDR all the time and I hopefully my photos will improve even more as my technique improves.
Gorgeous photos! What kind of camera do you use and what is HDR? I am a real novice photographer and am trying to teach myself how to use a better camera (namely my husbands). Thanks for sharing the brilliant pics!
Thanks. I’m using a Canon 550D + 18-55mm IS lens. HDR is a process to show more dynamic range in a photo by taking 3 at different exposures to create a single image that better represents the range the human eye can perceive. As I said, there is more explanation in one of my previous posts.
Nice pictures and places, at least you travelling, taking pictures and having fun. Just what life is all about.
Love the pictures!
Thanks.
great photos. i love the scenery!
