Part II. Putting the Photography in HDR Photography

Putting the Photography in HDR Photography

In this part...

This part is about choosing the best scenes for HDR and then taking the pictures. HDR photography uses a special technique — bracketing — to take more than one photo of a scene. You have to set your camera up and operate it a bit differently than normal.

In Chapter 4, you fi nd out how to surgically attach your camera and become a cyborg photographer. Really. Chapter 5 is one of the most important chapters in the book. You discover different techniques to shoot HDR brackets using different cameras. Finally, because it's not always possible to set up a tripod to shoot brackets, Chapter 6 gives you the lowdown on when to break the rules and shoot the best single raw photos for HDR.
