some of those pictures are absolutely unbelievable! but like someone said, how did they get some of them when you have to take 3 seperate pics of the same image so that they can all be mixed?
eg- the cow, the planes and the golden gate bridge with the cars!

Isn't it to do with bracketing the exposure on the camera?

Even if you use the bracketing thing, it still takes 1-2 seconds maybe to take the 3 pictures, depending on how quick your camera/memory card is.

If you read the coments at the bottom, people are saying how some of those are not proper HDR shots, as he hasn't used the 3 picture technique, but instead used one picture and used some sort of tone mapping, and on some pics just whacked up the saturation I think

This one for instance

no way is that from 3 seperate pics, unless the planes were posing for it!!! :lol:

You mean planes Gra :wink:

When I do mine with bracketing it takes all 3 pictures really quick so you get hardly any movement. you can also align objects in more advanced software as Chris says.

I have no idea what you mean Dean............. Image
:oops:

Some of those do look like they have been done from a single image though, but like you say they could have used more advanced software :roll:

he uses a Nikon D80, so the FPS on that wouldnt be high enough to do the plane shot for sure. Unless he very very cleverly edited and repositioned them?

Those pictures at amazing Alex! that face in the stone is awseme.

With the moving parts in the HDR shots, I'm sure you could adjust any movement made in photshop, for example the cow could've taken ages to take to get three simliar shots, and the planes could've simply been taken on one of the shots and overlapped over the other two?
