Dipping my toe in the HDR waters
Posted by One Inch Man | Filed under Uncategorized
As a rule, my photography is pretty much 100% Photoshop-free, or more accurately in my case, GIMP-free.
Generally speaking, my pictures are created inside the camera and I only use the GIMP to resize to more web-friendly dimensions.
Not that I’m opposed to image manipulation, it’s just not something I’ve ever really done before.
That having been said, I’ve been playing around today with the idea of HDR and tone-mapping and other fancy sounding things that I don’t really understand.
I’m liking the results so far and it definitely seems like something I can get into.
I can see me developing two separate styles of photography in the future.
Images created inside my camera and images created inside my PC.
Anywho, here’s a rather rushed example of my efforts.
