High Dynamic Range (HDR) Shooting and Processing

with Hal Schmitt. Saturday, 2 to 5pm

Capacity: 16 at workstations with an additional 16 to audit. First 16 registrants will have a dedicated workstation and a gallery quality printer available for practical.

Join Internationally Recognized Photography and After Capture Processing Expert Hal Schmitt for an afternoon of High Dynamic Range (HDR.) Pertinent exposure and camera sensor theory will be discussed as well as finding simple ways to overcome the limitations of current technology. No more blown highlights or lost shadow detail!

Discussion and Practical will include the following:

HDR Theory

Camera and equipment setup for “precision” shooting

Tripod
Mirror lockup
Cable release

Shooting modes

Camera Automation

HDR After Capture Processing Techniques

“Old School” Photoshop
Photoshop Merge to HDR
Photomatix Pro

Exposure Blending
Tone Mapping

Details Enhancer
Tone Compressor

Ensuring your HDR does not look “digital,” “oversaturated,” or “non photo realistic.” Unless, of course, you want it to.

Of Note: All processing and HDR shooting will take place on site.
