High Dynamic Range Photo Gallery by Duncan Smith at pbase.com

High Dynamic Range

Images created using Photoshop CS2 'Merge to HDR' feature, generally from between 3 and 8 RAW images, allowing a dynamic range (of light to dark in a frame) far beyond what can be captured in a single frame, without the limitations of filters or the time spent manually merging frames.

These are still very early days. With luck you will see the quality of the images here improve over time.

This is one of a very few decent examples I've found of HDR photography so far (I've recently tried doing some searching). I just heard about the "Merge to HDR" feature and will be doing more trial and error experimenting. My method has been to do it the slow, tedious, laborious way. I've had mixed results. Still so much to learn. I like your results.

bellissime,excellent

Guest- Undoubtedly this can be done manually for many of the photos (and I have done), or possibly through use of ND Grads. What I'm trying to do is automate the process and waste fewer evenings 'tweaking' photos manually to acheive the results. The automated tools can acheive a better result in less time.

I am not convinced that this effect cannot just as easily be faked via image tweaking, nonetheless it's an interesting study and thanks for sharing your experiments!
