For this High Dynamic Range photography challenge, I used Camerapro app’s HDR shooting mode. I was amazed by my HDR camera results, in how it produced surreal looking images by blending the lighting conditions of three differ shutter speed images. I found that the entrancing colors of the HDR photos, made for visually impactful photos.
What I liked about the Camerapro app was that it saves the regular images as well as the HDR images. It was fascinating to see the enhancement HDR offers, by examining the transformations of the photos. Unfortunately, however, the app kept draining my battery and caused it to shutdown a couple of times. As well, I had to re-download it as it would only permit me to take a certain number of HDR photos before the function would disappear. But, in the end my results were certainly worth the tech glitches.
For this assignment, I started with the powerful clouds above Ambleside on Thursday. The HDR was able to enhance the beauty of the clouds, and evoke a feeling of power in the images. I really liked how the HDR emphasized the lighting of the sky. I then took advantage of the break in the weather on Saturday Morning, and bright lighting on Sunday to capture more shots. I knew with the relatively gloomy forecast, it was a prime opportunity for me to get some photographs with sunlight. I went to the beach to capture the beauty of the driftwood, ocean and blue sky. The HDR made the colors pop, and also enhanced the lighting through its blending of exposures. I also chose to capture the curvature of the railroad, and liked how HDR added definition to the track. I also took a particular liking to my HDR images of buildings, as I felt as if it added another dimension to the building (The image feels as if I was standing in front of them in person – which was surreal). I also enjoyed the dreamlike appearance of my shot of the ducks in the lake (where I also incorporated water reflection). I also chose to photograph the wooden bridge, which traverses the railroad below Marine Drive, as the HDR was able to amplify its texture in a unique way. I also found image at the bottom of this post, of the Lions Gate Bridge, particularly striking. I used black and white HDR. It not only emphasized the various exposures, but I also liked the content of the photo in how it contrasted the breadth of the span of the bridge and the size of the dog and its owner frolicking on the beach (incorporation of small human big world)! I had also attempted to take HDR while it was raining, but the quality of the lighting did not produce as great of results.
I liked how this blog challenge exposed me to a new type of photography! The surreal images it creates are impactful with their vibrant colors. I am looking forward to adding HDR photography into my regular repertoire!
