[ TITLE: "HDR MASTERY" steps, of Ben Wilmore ]

Not really a link.. but if you don't feel like surfing to far, here's Ben Wilmore's steps from the "HDR Mastery" video.



1) Set your camera to manual mode

2) If you have RAW setting, set your camera to record RAW files (over 4000 ranges of color and shadow in RAW, versus lower in JPG)

3)You want to get rid of "blinkies" on your histogram view, of the shots you are taking. Check your manual on how to get into this view, when reviewing pics. Flashing highlights (or "blinkies) show areas of the image where detail is lost.

4)Put your camera on a tripod, for steady images, your subject, or items in the shot should not be moving.. watch the clouds!

5) Choose your aperture, based on the depth of field you want in the image.

6) Your starting point will be to find out what the shutter speed will be, to get the brightest shot you can get without having "blinkies" appear. This may take a number of shots.

7) Start off at whatever shutter speed is currently set on the camera, and take a shot, check the histogram view, in playback, to make sure you have no "blinkies", if you do, continue to change the shutter speed until the area blinking on the histogram display, is virtually gone. This means you have the brightest shot without blowing out detail in the highlights. This is your starting point

8) You then change the shutter speed, by one stop, allowing brighter and brighter images until most of the histogram area is blinking. Ideally this should produce a shot that allows for the most detail in the shadows.

You now have at least 3 images or more (and one should also be properly exposed for mid-range detail), to load into Photoshop or Photomatix Pro.

You'll want to eliminate shake as much as possible:

1) tripod
2) cable release or IR remote
3) Lock up the mirror during exposure, if your camera allows it.

Hope this helps.

P.S. To see some samples that I've come up with, along with the images incorporated to create the final HDR, do a tag search on my photostream for "HDR".

Happy shooting!
