However, Lightroom Classic does not give the photographer a lot of control when merging an HDR image. HDR images in Lightroom Classic are always natural and pleasing. Lightroom Classic creates HDR photos that are never overcooked.

The dedicated software for creating HDR images is improving and photographers are more restrained and producing pleasant and realistic results. However, I have noticed that these overcooked images are less common than they used to be, and things are getting better. A quick Google search for “HDR examples” will illustrate my point. easyHDR is a useful application with which you can create HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. When all these traits are brought together into one picture, it looks unnatural and resembles a cartoon rather than a photograph. Often, these overcooked images will have exaggerated saturation, bulging halos, shadows that are too bright and muddy highlights. I often see HDR images that are “overcooked”, as I refer to them. Forgive my blunt statement, but I do believe it is true – many HDR images are ugly. One of the drawbacks of HDR images is many of them can be ugly. As you practice HDR photography, you’ll see it’s value in many more situations. These are a few examples that came to mind, but I could go on and on.

A view that is shot from the shadow area and contains areas of highlights.

A scene with many reflective surfaces, including water and snow.

The interior of a room with bright sunlight outside the window.

For example, the following types of scenes have a high dynamic range: Examples of an HDR sceneĪny scene that has a large variation between the highlights and shadows is considered as having a high dynamic range. So, when we view a scene in real life that has a vast difference between highlights and shadows, it is tough to photograph. At present, digital cameras are not able to produce the same amount of dynamic range as our own eyes, and brain can. It is challenging, if not impossible, to capture details in both the brightest areas and the darkest areas in a single image. Therefore, dynamic range can be thought of as the difference between the brightest and darkest areas of a scene. If a scene contains both very bright areas and very dark areas, the scene is said to have a high dynamic range. Deciding to create an HDR image will depend upon the lighting conditions within the scene. The term HDR is an acronym for High Dynamic Range. What is an HDR image?Īn HDR image is a blend of two or more photographs that have been shot using different exposures of the same scene.

Let’s have a look at how to create HDR images in Lightroom Classic. Either way, HDR images do still have a place in photography. Whereas easyHDR is not mainstream but I enjoy using it.You either love them or loathe them. That really is a long time in software terms, sure it’s stable, and there have been quite a few dot releases but it just doesn’t excite me any more. I just checked it was November 2013, that’s 3 years ago. I can’t remember the last time HDRSoft issued a major release. I don’t know what it is but PhotoMatix seems to be stuck in a time-warp, just never advancing. For a long time now I’ve been dissatisfied with the results I get from PhotoMatix. I did say I was working on trialling two bits of software.

Llangelynin is not used on a regular basis for church services, I think it’s only about a couple of times a year, Easter and Christmas. Those flowers are plastic, but they do add a splash of colour. There is a single track road that runs nears to the church but the last part of the access is on foot. Llangelynin is perched on a hill approximately 900 feet above the Conwy Valley in North Wales.

I thought about this for a while and as you can see from the photographs, TINY is relevant, when you compare the size of the church to say a cathedral.

But at the moment I’m only trialling it, although I must admit I do like what I’ve seen so far. For me the problem has always been to find an alternative to Lightroom and that’s where ACDSee Ultimate might come in handy. But what I really don’t like is that if you don’t keep up the monthly subscriptions then you lose the ability to work with your photographs. I’ve never been a fan of Adobe’s Subscription Model and as much as I like Lightroom for it’s cataloguing and RAW Development, Photoshop played very little part in my normal workflow.

First of all I’ve been trialling some new photography software, not only for HDR but also for post processing my photographs.
