HDR Photography - light

Ya... Sort of like bud light or miller light. I'm trying not to over-do it. Here are some of my latest experiments in HDR photography:

Food Photography - scraping light

If you've read my articles on food photography, you know how I harp on "scraping light". Here's a good example of when we were setting up and the main light was jest a few inches from where it should of been. Can you tell the difference? If not, get your eyes checked ASAP... :+)

HDR People Photography

Ive been playing more with this new HDR technique. I still have lots to learn, but I've been working at it these last two days. One nice thing about being a professional photographer, the local modeling agencies and models are glad to help you out when you need some free models for testing. They know that, in return, they'll get some nice prints for themselves...

I really have fallen in love with this technique. You can add just a little "something extra" or go hog-wild and make it look more like an illustration than a photo. So what do you think?











I think this one is my favorite.

HDR Food Photography

Today's shot

I'm back from vacation, and I had a great time while I was gone. I traveled about 2000 miles on my motorcycle. Check out my FaceBook page if you want to see my vacation shots... :+) I did Skyline Drive and all of the Blue Ridge Parkway, top to bottom.

Since I've been back, I've been playing with HDR photography, with both people and food shots. It's pretty interesting and I still have a bunch to learn. I have a couple of test people shoots lined up on Thursday and Friday, So I'll have a bunch of images to show you guys. Just for fun, I shot a food photo yesterday (just playing around) and I converted one of today's today's food photography shots into HDR. I really like this technique and think it has a lot of potential with illustrative type of projects.


Yesterday's test shot

You really have a wide range of "change" you can make to your food photography. It will take me quite some time before I master this, if ever.
