The HDR Portraits Project: I started on my quest of using HDR with people back in 2007. These were shot using my 3 image auto bracket method and rendered with Photomatix. Here’s a few basics, but if you want details about how it works, see my HDR tips on Pro Photo Show. I also have a 3 day HDR workshop coming fall 2009.
A regular camera captures a far smaller range of light than our eyes. That amazing sunset, with a green marsh in the foreground, may look great to your eye, but on a photo that foreground might be nothing but a black hole. Cameras just can’t capture that kind of range.
HDR is a method that combines multiple images of the same scene, bringing out the light and dark details from each and producing what’s called a High Dynamic Range photo. In my case I use HDR on Landscape, as well as on weddings and other sessions. Rather than explain I’ll show some results. See my nature Gallery for other HDR’s.

I just wanted to drop a note saying that I think you HDR images are fantastic. Very inspiring to go out and try this method for portraits. Thanks for the creative spark!

I definitely wanna add this to our repertory. Great pics as well. It seems hard to find a pic that does well with HDR.

Very beautiful, Amazing Images.
Does this new 5D Mark 11 do just HD or is that a setting? Hope that is not a dumb question.
