HDR

This style of photography is called HDR. To get me started, I had to use a tripod in order for me to make sure that my frames would be the exact same in every shot. I decided to pick a flower and place it in the trash can holder so the wind wouldn’t move the flower. I felt that the trash can holder would create an interesting dynamic and a great contrast with the flower. To create the HDR effect, I took a picture of my flower on every bar throughout the exposure scale, starting at 0. (for example, if you shoot at +1, you have to also shoot -1 and so on).In Photoshop, I merged the selected photos using the "Merge to HDR Pro" tool. This aligned all of my frames together and allowed me to enhance the exposure and adjust the shadows and highlights to make my picture "pop" more.

  2. I like the contrast of a light versus a dark color. Although the image is a little out of focus, I think the picture still looks great. Good job!
