Project 4: HDR Photography April 29, 2010

Objective: Create an HDR photograph that can be displayed on the FHS homepage.  There are several different views of the school located on the FHS-Mac-Server that you can choose from. To create an image for the FHS homepage the dimensions are 487×675 pixels and is of course 72 pixels per inch because it will be displayed on the web.

What is HDR?   High Dynamic Range stands for High Dynamic Range and essentially uses a series of digital photos composited together so everything in the photo is in proper exposure.  You can push the color levels, contrast, balance, curves and saturation on the different layers to get a hyper-realistic image.  Use your adjustment panel to make these image adjustments to your different layers.

You will want to conduct some research before beginning on your project on how to create an HDR image and also look at some images of what you are trying to achieve.

Here are several links to learn more about HDR photography:
