HDR Photography

heydewd · 01-17-2010, 07:50 AM

Hi all.. Looking for some tips on HDR with a Nikon D90 (or any SLR for that matter). I posted my first picture on the Facebook page. I took all 8 shots manually and incremented the shutter speed. Any tips from users would be great.

Photomatix... it works so much better than the built in HDR converter in CS4.

There are cameras that will automatically take 3 separate pictures of different exposure with just 1 press of the button right? I seem to recall hearing about a Nikon that does it.

Or do you have to manually adjust exposure on all cameras.

Im looking to upgrade..

was looking at Canon Rebel t1i or xsi (*?*)

Currently using rebel Xt

Most of the DSLRs available have AEB, auto exposure bracketing, and you can also set the amount of exposure difference you want in the series.

The Rebel XT has this feature available. Here's a link to a list of DSLRs that has this feature. Auto Exposure Bracketing by camera model

My D 90 has a setting that I set. Push the shutter button and it will do a series, you can set the # of shots and how far you want to + and - the exposures each shot. I have to look up which button again... Oh its the BKT button, left of lens on the front, under the flash control button, that turns on and off the bracketing and lets you do minor adjustments. rear roller turns it on and off with BKT pushed at the same time. It also sets how many frames. Front roller dial sets exposure steps.
sorry, sound kinda retarded tonight. lol

Thanks for the info on the HDR shots guys.

Ive cracked, Im going to buy a Canon Rebel xsi tomorrow....Ive ruled out the T1i for my own reasons

Heydewd,
Could you post the pics here as I wouldnt know how to find you on facebook.

Stuck in Customs is hooked on Nikon, but his techniques should work no matter what you're shooting. Aside from differences in bracketing depending on the model you're using, which can make it easier, just about any camera should work fine.

HDR can do really neat stuff, and it doesn't have to look like a glowing cartoon if you don't want it to. The best HDR shots (in my opinion) are those that don't even look like they're HDR.
