On the trip, my tripod broke; thus, when shooting my photos that I wanted to use for my HDR shots, I had to be very careful to capture the exact same shot. Since my camera did not have a bracketing option, I would take one shot with a regular exposure. Then, I would take the same photo with a -2 exposure and then a +2 exposure. The exposure of the picture could be changed by pressing the plus/minus button on the side of my camera. Once the photos were taken, I opened them in Dynamic Photo. The program then tried to line up the photos as best as it could taking the best lighting from each shot. Sadly, my images were not perfect matches so I had to adjust the images manually using the sliders in Dynamic Photo. Due to some ghosting which could not be erased, I then cropped the edges of the image which I could not match together. From there, I went through the tone mapping area, adjusting the brightness, vibrance, and source of light for the picture. Lastly, for the chair picture, I simply used one image and allowed the program to bring out the colors. Aside from the edits available in Dynamic Photo, I did not make any other edits.
Great Job on the HDR shots! They all turned out really nice and I like the colirs you got in both the decay shot and the chair shot. Also great angle on the chair shot I like the perspective angle. I like the angle on the Hotel Meade shot as well althought there is a little more black in that shot than I would like. Great job.
