High Dynamic Range Photography Prep

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image?

• turn on Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) function, or if using Manual, adjust exposure (Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed): take around 5-7 of the same photo with different exposure levels

2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image?

We'll need a tripod in order to take clear, multiple pictures of the same subject. If the camera is shaky, the images will be harder to align.

HDR photo-blending software will be needed.

3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image?

To either have a colorful, detailed photo instead of a bland (grey) photo, or to take a scenery for a documentary, formal event, etc.


4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo?

A photo with a lot of color and detail. Exaggerated contrast.
