Another HDR shot from Jerome. This time in the Liberty Theater museum with a super wide lens. It’s hard to stop playing with Photomatix 🙂
HDR tutorial links
I gave a presentation on Photomatix software yesterday. Here’s a link to a PDF of links to video tutorials and also the names of two books I recommend on the subject.
Another HDR example. This one is a gift shop in Jerome. I should have taken one more shot which would have revealed the area outside the door more clearly. As it is, it’s too bright so I cropped it off.
greasewood flat 2
Another HDR of the license plates at Greasewood Flat. A little less processing on this one. Below is what a normal exposure would be.

Greasewood Flat is a must stop hangout for motorcyclists and photographers.

Another high dynamic composite (HDR) shot from Tlaquepaque….this time a little stronger tonemapping. If you like creating artsy stuff from your images and your budget can handle $99, then I highly recommend Photomatix Pro. (I’m playing lately because I am giving a presentation on the program at my digital group next month).
photo buddy
Jerome is another wonderful photo op. Here’s Chris being his usual patient self as I photograph. You usually don’t see him sitting so he must have already hiked to the top of the mountain and back 🙂 (Another HDR)
day trip
Took a day trip to Jerome and Sedona yesterday. Tlaquepaque shopping village is a wonderful photo op. This image is a combination of 5 images capturing all the shadow and highlight information. I used Photomatix Pro 3 to combine the files.
cleo and cloe
Cleo (L) and sister Cloe in their kitty walk enclosure. This is a very quick handheld and not so great HDR from this morning. The cats were in total shade so I set my 40D to ISO 400 and auto bracketed to produce 3 different exposures. The newest version of Photomatix does an excellent job of aligning handheld images.

Some lighting conditions make it impossible to get an even exposure. In those cases, give HDR a try. Use a tripod and shoot four to fives images at least one stop apart. I then processed my exposures using Photomatix Pro.
