Like many, when you hear the term HDR photography, you are probably imagining fake looking, overly processed photos with too much saturation. However, it can still be used well. Bracketing will help you capture a dynamic range of scene. It involves taking at least 3 pictures: one for the darker areas, another for mid-tones and a third for highlights. This valuable technique will help you to capture smaller details in a scene in a much more realistic way.
Key Takeaways:
- Bracketing refers to the practice of taking more than one photograph of the same scene at different exposures.
- An HDR photograph usually consists of three or more bracketed images to create more detail than you can get in one shot.
- If you want your HDR photograph to look more realistic and less over-processed, control the settings yourself.
“HDR or high dynamic range refers to the difference between extremes ? the brightest and darkest areas of your image.”
