HDR Photography

HDR is a type of photography that will make your photos look better, and adds more dynamic range. Instead of taking one photo, HDR takes several different photos at different exposures. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. This is also an old photography recently introduced to cameraphones like the iPhone and some android devices. I really like HDR, I think this is a really good photography skill and the photo looks more realistic because its what the human eye sees. Theres nothing about HDR that I dislike and I hope more people get to know the power of HDR and how they can use it in their everyday life to take more memorable and amazing photos.

To take and HDR picture on a real camera (not a phone camera) you have to first locate the plus (+) and minus (-) button, hold it down, and then find the scroller on the camera to change the types of exposure. When taking the pictures do not move the camera AT ALL! Usually when I take my HDR photos I take about 7 photos. The first exposure starts at -3, then  -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.  HDR on the DSL cameras or any camera that isn't a phone camera is much different than the function a phone camera because I feel more in control of what I am taking a picture of and its just a better and more professional way.

In my landscape HDR photo that I was assigned to do I took the photos in Talia's neighborhood around the late afternoon sort of right before the golden hour. In my landscape, I was attempting to make the photo have depth my taking the pictures in the middle of the road and having it lead down into a forest type of landscape. My experiment photos I took pictures of Talia sitting on the road. I had her placed in the rule of thirds and I think its positioned correctly. I also had her looking across the screen so she had look room. I took pictures at m,y house about a week before I took these ones but they turned out pretty bad... my experiment picture that I took turned into a profile and my was not so much a good landscape.
