Bridge HDR Takes today

[JPhotoz]

Here is another try at some HDR.

Unfortunately, I took these hand held again. I never seem to have my tripod with me. My problem is that my A350 will only shoot brackets of.7 stop. I know I can do it in manual but not hand held.

So I tried to get a couple pictures. The first one I tried some color separation to get it almost like B&W, with a tint of color I like the effect. What do you think.



Then I tried again to move the curve and get a decent color.



Well What do yo all think. The light was flat due to the cloudy day. I think both of them could be better on a nice sunny day.

I like to shoot on cloudy days. The sun makes it had to control the blown out areas. I think hand held it is hard to do HDR look at the leaves in the second image. That is why you need a tripod. You need to bracket your images more also.

I wish there was a quick way to bracket with the A350 but there is not. For me to do it in manual takes too much of moving the camera. I need to take the tripod with me everywhere. I was not planning on taking any scenic shots. It was my daughter's soccer day. I took about 500 pictures at the game and then on the way back I saw a cool view, I had to stop and get a few. It was really windy too. That may have had more to to with the leaves than me moving the camera. I have to get a more stable tripod too. My best time to shoot is either sunrise or sunset. I think the lighting is perfect at that time.

I am just getting back into photography again, so I have to learn all the composition things again.

Is the firmware V4 update just for the 700? have you checked online to see if there is a new version for the 350? dr4gon do you know? With the 700 you can now increase the bracket range with the update.

that looks nothing like a HDR

to be honest I've never seen any software that can auto-emulate HDR, its a manual process where you have to do the dirty work

[seanhoxx]

No sorry not saying you can use the software to make it HDR was saying with it you can increase the EV bracketing to make it a bit easier to use the images when you make HDR.

I just did a little research regarding the firmware upgrade. It looks to be only for the 700. Maybe they will think of us 350 users as well.
