HDR Photography

HDR photography, or High Dynamic Range imaging, is used to make your photos better and more interesting, but it depends on when and how you use it. It adds more dynamic range, the ratio of light to dark, to images and photographs. What I like about HDR imaging is that it makes my photos look like how you and others would see it as by the eye. Also it makes my images more interesting with better exposers and colors all shown.
I think the only thing that I dislike about the HDR photography on my phone is that it takes a little longer to snap the photo. When using the HDR mode on your phone camera, its likely to take a little longer when taking the photo only because instead of taking one snapshot of an area, it takes three or more photos with different exposers. Then, when you snap the photo, it takes a long time to process all the photos into one. Have you noticed that? After the photos are taken with the different exposers, you may go into photoshop and merge all of them together so that they blend into one another. With your edits and changing the saturation, gamma, vibrance, and other options, you just made your finished ordinary photos.

We had to do two images with the HDR photography processes. One was of a landscape and the other is an profile. When taking my landscape photo, I was basically looking for the trees, leaves, and the shadows. I think the only tricky part about what I wanted was that the leaves and leaves were moving. So when I put all of the photos together in photoshop, I had the option to align the photos together, match them up, and then get rid of the movements which are called ghosting. On the right is my landscape HDR photo. For my profile photo, my dad was my model. I asked him to do a pose that he can hold for at least 60 seconds. Instead of doing one set of the photos, I took two different profiles with different angles and a different pose from my dad. After keeping his pose and after I took my 7 photos, everything payed of. To edit the photos in photoshop, it was the same process as the landscape, but instead of looking at the trees, I had to focus on my dad. Under the landscape HDR photo is my profile HDR photo.

For my superimpose photo I took my dad form my profile picture and my landscape HDR photo together as one and put in a word that relates to the picture. Below is my superimpose photo.
