krix Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi, I found these HDR pictures of New York, mainly taken from the Empire State Building. I'm not sure what HDR stands for or how it works, but it surely looks impressive. The link, I'll also try to post some of the images: View uptown View downtown View westward, if I'm not mistaken Flatiron Building Columbus Circle Check it out, there are many more. Maybe someone could take HDR pictures of Houston, these should turn out great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I could theoretically do this with a normal digitial camera and photoshop? What would I need to do? Or would this be too complicated for the amateur photographer (I personally can't even create panoramas ) Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 after searching a little, i found these for CS2 explaining the merge function: (but it is a new function for CS2, and i have CS ) http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hdr.shtml http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials...namic-range.htm http://www.astropix.com/HTML/J_DIGIT/PS_HDR.HTM seems simple enough, though, aslong as you have multiple shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pictures don't look anywhere near that good yet. With practice, maybe. Fortunately, my camera has a built-in function to help with this. I just need better weather conditions.

Jax Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Nice photos! I especially like the reflection of Columbus circle!Check out my flickr page for some HDR photos of Houston. http://www.flickr.com/photos/j-a-x/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Those NY HDR photos, and your photos of Houston Jax are very good; not overdone.I've seen some posts of HDR photos on other forums where it seems that it is overdone. Sort of makes the photos seem cartoonish and unreal. I like reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
