Photography: My Kinda Town by stuckincustoms
This guy’s work is incredible! Using a technique called “HDR” (High Dynamic Range Imaging) he has created some very impressionable images that stand out. He posted a tutorial on the HDR technique here. I like how discribes HDR and how it enhances images in a blurb from the tutorial…
I’m a huge defender and believer of utilizing HDR as a technique for processing photos because I think it helps to evoke my actual memory of the scene. It’s just another tool that digital photographers can utilize depending on the situation. As opposed to the camera shutter and aperture, the human eye actually scans the scene at a very high rate of speed, constantly adjusting the pupil diameter to adjust the light and color levels. The pre-frontal cortex builds a quilt-like image that is comprised of millions of little bits, combined with neuron-connected memories of colors of objects. For example, when you look at a sunset, you can see all the colors of the clouds and sky, but you can also see all the colors of the trees and rocks in the foreground. This is why, many times, people get home after a vacation and sigh at their pictures and tell their friends, “Well, it was much better when you were there.” So hey, it’s 2007, why not use software and the built-in ability of your camera to make a beautiful rendition of what YOU really saw?
I’m inspired to try my hand at it. Maybe you’ll see some HDR pics of my own on here someday
