Rick Sammon's HDR Photography Secrets for digital photographers

Chapter XI. Creating HDRs from Fast-Moving Subject Photographs

In addition to illustrating a common theme (which is HDR photography, in case you haven't been paying attention ... haha), more than 95 percent of the pictures in this book have something in common: Nothing is moving in the scene. That's why I have included this chapter—to point out that you can expand the dynamic range of a single image in which the subject is moving ... even if it's moving quite fast.

You can expand the dynamic range using the techniques you have read about in the previous chapters on Pseudo HDR, Photoshop, Lucis and Camera RAW. I suggest experimenting with all the techniques on an image, because each process gives you a different result.

Here you see the pseudo HDR image that I created in Photomatix. On page 127 is my original of this image along with the pseudo HDR image.

On the remaining pages in this chapter, I share several other examples of expanding the dynamic range of an image. Before and after examples are used.

I did not include any chitchat on those pages because I want you to see the pictures as large as possible.
