| Re: Exposure Blending - Any Wabbers Doing It?
Sounds pretty much like High Dynamic Range (HDR), apps such as photomatix can automate it for you with various sliders and options to tweak.
I use it quite a bit when shooting scenes with high contrast, often just taking two frames, one exposed normally for the majority of the scene and a second underexposing to make sure I have the highlights captured too.
Of course you can go much further and combine many pictures with a range of exposures (I started a recent HDR Landscapes dicsussion on this when reading about the D300's ability to do a 9-shot bracket at 1 stop intervals). These can start to look quite sureal and sometimes downright ugly, other times, quite beautiful. Quick google on HDR photography will reavel oodles of info and examples. |
