This is something I have really been getting into recently! Its called HDR - High Dynamic Range. You can read up about it here on good ol' wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging
If you can't be arsed to read that which I know you won't
it is basically the art of taking a picture and having a larger dynamic range in colours ect on the picture so you get it all in the correct exposure ect.But, while professionals use it to make things look 'perfect' and how the eye would see it, many people use it to get some really cool and funky effects - basically over processing the picture in a way. But some of the pictures can some out looking simply awesome!
The way that you do it, is by taking 3 pictures. One normal exposure, one over exposed (so its brighter) and one under exposed (so its darker). Then you load them into a program like Photomatrix Pro and let it do its magic. Then you can tweak all the settings in the picture to make it look how you want.
If anyone wants a proper step by step guide on how to do it - how I do it at least, let me know and I will make one!
Anyway, I first tried it the other day with my car quickly, got some poor results with a few pics, but two of the pictures came out ok.
So I thought, this is cool, I will try it some more! So while out with my two friends, I said I would try some HDR pictures of their cars to see how they came out.
This was the result.
Then I went urban exploring of an old disused industrial estate in a place called Tipner in Portsmouth. I have always wanted to go there because there are a couple of abandoned/decommissioned U.S. Army LARC-LX's down there, and there used to be a submarine there too.
I took quite a few pictures of the area, but this was one of the HDR pictures I took of the LARC-LX.
You'll see a lot more HDR stuff from me because I absolutely love it!
because I spent the last three days waiting to post up my picture I did ageeees ago lol
but I also didn't take the best picture for it. just was a trial
