Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Victor Cajiao. You may already know Victor as the creator of The Typical Mac User Podcast, and the Typical Shutterbug Podcasts. Two great podcasts that if you’re into photography and Macs you’ll want to check out.
The image is a compilation of 5 bracketed exposures that Victor merged into one HDR image. If you haven’t played around with making HDRs it’s kinda fun. You under expose one 2 images, over expose 2 images and make one exactly what the camera is telling you to expose for. Then using software like Photoshop or Hydra you merge the images. It works best if you’re on a tripod because the software finds points within the photos to use as reference then aligns the photos based on those points. If you move you’ll see weird ghosting in the images. I like the more natural looking HDR images not the surreal ones.
Great shot, Victor.
