Peter Hammer, about 1 year ago

Thanks Jessica and funkyface. This was most definitely real. The HDR processing has brought out the detail in the clouds.

Nice shot Peter but what is HDR image I’ve seen it mentioned constantly can yo enlighten me
Peter Hammer, about 1 year ago

Thanks Christine. HDR = high dynamic range. You can achieve that either by taking a series of images with different exposures or from a single raw file. Software such as photomatix combines multiple images with different exposures to compress the tonal range. The resulting images often look a bit flat and need some extra processing afterwards to restore some contrast. Using HDR you can effectively get say 8 stops of brightness to display as a compressed range of say 5 stops. It does much what is done in-camera with a tone conversion curve to jpg but with much greater dynamic range.

Very impressive cloud formation Peter,should have picked your brain about HDR on Saturday.
Peter Hammer, about 1 year ago

Thanks Hans. I am not the expert on HDR! Those images of Tim’s are superb, mine are pretty ordinary in comparison.

That is one hell of a storm front. Did you manage to dodge the rain?
Peter Hammer, about 1 year ago

Thanks smylie. Unfortunately it was nearly all show and the rain which came was more like a drizzle and didn’t last. Perhaps it deposited a load inland but not on me.
