An HDR Full Tank Shot

[Tehrab]

Been meaning to actually see how well I can put together a high dynamic range series of my aquarium. This is the first attempt, click the red house to see different sizes:

My next attempt I am going to go with more underexposure across the entire range as the sand in this image is blown out across the board.

And yes, I am cultivating HA in my display.

I've messed around with HDR shots but I haven't been very successful when doing them for my aquarium. I find HDR especially useful for interior shots (I do real estate photography with HDR) but the tank just doesn't look right for some reason.

HDR definitely has its uses. The aquarium is more of a challenge to get right than I thought it would be, that's for sure.

What's HDR?

 

[Tehrab]

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Without getting too technical, it is the process of merging multiple photographs that were shot with different exposure settings into one image, with the final image being a closer representation of what the human eye sees.

Oh, cool. Thanks for the help.

Oh I don't need to do any HDR shots. my camera can actually do multiple exposures all at once and make it look life like!




i wish...





that looks great! I'll definitely try it some time
