Photos of the Day: More experiments with fake HDR
Hapy 4th of July weekend. It's a holiday weekend.. so a lot of opportunity to take pictures. But, I'm having more fun with fake HDR. This time I used the Bracketing feature on my Camera. Bracketing is a setting that will tell the camera to take three consecutive pictures of a scene. You can either do it at different focal lengths or exposures. Since I'm doing HDR, I used the exposure bracket.. hoping to get some more pop out of my HDR photos. It worked. Take a look at the main picture above and the two below. Both of the original pictures look kind of dark. You can tell that the one on the right is brighter by the color of the sky. That brightness was just enough to lighten up the treeline. So, after a little lightening of the shadows in photoshop, boosting the color and some other small tweaks I combined the two photos. Here's a huge tip: Always use a tripod especially if you know you are going to combine more than one photo in post. This is actually three photos ...
