One of the things I\u2019ve been most determined to do from my 101 List<\/a> is learning to make High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photos<\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen some amazing HDR photos on Flickr<\/a> and really wanted to learn to do it myself, but on first examination it seemed really difficult.\u00a0 This was when I first got my DSLR camera<\/a> and I already had so much to learn that I figured I\u2019d save the HDR for later.<\/p>\n

Today I was messing around and decided to download Photomatix<\/a> and see how it all works. I hadn\u2019t already taken photos for this purpose so I cheated a bit and took a few of my jpg photos from my point and shoot, saved two other versions of them with higher and lower exposure and played around with them.\u00a0 I know this isn\u2019t going to work quite as well as if I\u2019d taken photos for that purpose and was able to edit them from RAW form but it was enough to give me a little taste.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a><\/p>\n

I took the photos while we were showing friends around Kinderdijk<\/a> on Sunday.\u00a0 They are here visiting from Canada and I figured we\u2019d take them to one of the bigger tourist destinations around here.\u00a0 I had already been to Kinderdijk a number of times<\/a> so I hung around outside while they went into the windmill.\u00a0 I brought my point and shoot with me, which I usually do\u2026 so to keep myself busy I took a few photos of what was going on around me.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a><\/p>\n

I particularly loved watching this little girl \u2018fishing\u2019 with a reed from the side of the canal.\u00a0 She was so cute and I\u2019m glad I quickly dug my camera out again to catch her in the act.\u00a0 I also like the way the photo of her came out!<\/p>\n

I want to spend some time doing tutorials for this to learn exactly how all the different tools work.\u00a0 I was just clicking and dragging stuff at random until I got something that looked the way I wanted.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure there are many many other processes that could be followed to really make them pop.<\/p>\n

For now though, I\u2019m pleased that I\u2019ve made a start!\u00a0 I see a lot more HDR photos in my future.\u00a0 Even those super overly processed ones some people seem to hate!\u00a0 I think they look freaky and interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
