This video will show how to shoot and create natural looking HDR images using Exposure Blending techniques within Photoshop and Tone Mapping with the leading HDR software Photomatix.

We start Part 1 of this 2 Part video with a brief chat about the different types of HDR, those used for CGI Rendering and the more common type that seems still to be the latest craze in photography.

On location we go into an old Barn which is used to show the process of shooting for both Exposure Blending and HDR Imaging.
Simon discusses dynamic range of both the scene and what the modern DSLR is capable of capturing.

In post production we are shown a manual method of assembling our various exposures within photoshop by using layer masks and a little patience.

In Part 2 we move into the Photomatix 4 software and are shown 2 types of processing Exposure Fusion and Tone Mapping.

All images from our location shoot are supplied so you can work along with the video.
