It's finally felt something like Summer this week! I went out for an evening meander on our nearby hilly patch. I think I've previously put pictures I took here on my blog. I ws expecting there to be a nice sunset as it had been such a nice day, and there were some intresting ripples of cloud in there sky.
I wanted to take some pictures so I could try out a technique I've been learning about called HDR photography. You have to take a series of pictures with different lengthen exposures, so you have a dark picture, a medium picture and a light picture. You load the pictures into a computer programme and it combines them, using the different details picked up in the different pictures to create an enhanced image. The picture below is the middle one of the first set of three I combined, and the one below that is the final result!
The computer software I have used is a free trial, which is why it has writing on it, but it was still fun too play around with. I think I might have made the colours a bit too bright on this one it looks a bit too unrealistic! I like how orange the sky is though.
These two pictures show the before and after in my second attempt. I think because this one has such a bright light in the centre, the HDR technique has really helped to show off details in the darker areas of the picture that would have just looked shadowy otherwise.
