Home Sweet Home 01 HDR Apr 20 2012_DSC43587_8_9_tonemapped.jpg

Here's the HDR version of 1011 Beach Ave Vancouver this afternoon. This is a composite of 3 shots of the same image: one under exposed to really grab the highlights, one over exposed to pull out the detail from the shadows and one computer-knows-best 'perfect' exposure per the camera's digital brain. All three are then merged into a High Dynamic Range (HDR) picture on the computer. I use PhotomatixPro which, of course, I love. Next image in this 2 shot series is the computer-knows-best semi-post processed in Capture NX/2. Another hour of work and I could get that image to an equally cool old-school B&W. Decisions decisions. :)
