You can see every megapixel of the new camera here. The detail is stunning. The bigger you see this photo, the better it looks :)
I just ordered the Promote Control remote. Exactly because of photos, like the one today. Somehow the more I shoot, the more I have situations where 3 brackets is not enough. I usually go with three at -2,0,+2 and three at -1,+1 and +3, but this helps only sometimes, and you still cant go over 30 seconds. And here is where the Promote comes into play, giving you the ability to take much more brackets (up to 45). I was thinking about it a long time ago, but I wanted to wait for a new camera first. And now’s the time. Let’s see if the increased number of brackets will be visible on my photos :)
I don’t really like when the sky is absolutely black in a photo, but I had no other option here. As I only took three shots, the brightest one was not bright enough. My mistake. It’s always better to take more bracket and don’t need them, than taking less and missing them.
This really is a classic composition for a place like this :). I just could resist to also have a photo like this. I took this shot in the cloister of the Segovia Cathedral in Segovia. I wanted to try few different composition, but few seconds after I took this shot, I was asked to stop using my tripod, and the security guard started walking around, interfering with my shots. Probably he thought I will destroy the stone floor tiles with the rubber feet of my tripod :) But either way, I’m happy with this shot.
White objects (walls, cars, anything else) are not the best subject for HDR. You have to be very careful, not to make the white turn into grey in your final result. This very beautiful church in Toledo, the Iglesia de Los Jesuitas is one of the very bright churches, with all the walls very white. This is why I used the HDR postprocess only on small parts of the photo, everything that was not white. Together with a lot of brightening, I think it worked really well.
Also this was only the second church I visited in Spain (first one being the Almudena Cathedral) where I was allowed to use a tripod. Don’t really understand why they allow you to take photos, but they are against the use of tripods :)
I heard a lot of stuff about Pinterest lately, so I decided to join it. I just started to add stuff to my page http://pinterest.com/hdrshooter/ but I quite like how it’s done. Feel free to follow me there and if anybody wants to try it out and needs an invite, just let me know :)
Would be nice to take this photo without cars, but that was really not possible. So instead I went for light trails. I took the same shot few times, until I had a photo, where none of the cars was visible. I also played a lot with the colors on this one, but in the end I chosen a little warmer look. I really like it :)
