nandri, v_s, vinod, venki .
venki i used to shoot mostly b/w alone, on film, until couple of years back (and had begun doing a bit of film processing and printing too), but it's become almost impossible to get flim, chemicals and paper. Even if you chance upon it somewhere, it'd be old-stock, past it's use-by date. Rightnu vittutu Canon PnS ku maaritten and have been enjoying the ease and comfort since then!
Vinod, naan muyarchi pannappo andha photo upload aagala... neenga eppadi panninga? size reduction pannanuma?

Cool shots , check out my Pittsburgh Downtown HDR Let me know what you guys think !

Again pl be little kind on critics .. I am still LEARNING.

HDR tutorial please. I specifically shot the Taj with 6 different exposures, in RAW and in JPEG to make a HDR and yet, I fail everytime.

HDR tutorial please. I specifically shot the Taj with 6 different exposures, in RAW and in JPEG to make a HDR and yet, I fail everytime.

Things I follow for HDR , which has worked pretty much 95% of the time

1) Tripod is must when we are shooting Landscape in any light

2) I use ABE option set it to those 3 exposures I need. Depending on the lighting condition of course

3) Set you ISO accordingly.

4) For Nite shots have the Bigger F Stop number to allow more light

5) For Day / Sunset /Sunrise kind of shots , depending on lighting condition and colors which I want to enhance like water , some greenery etc.

6) Set your camera to Multi-shot with timer mode

7) The most important piece , which will spoil your picture 9times out of 10 . Pl make sure everything is set to Manual (including focus). switch your VC,IS or any other kind of image stabilizer to off mode.

If you follow these steps you can't go wrong in creating HDRs. Again HDRs have evolved so much over the years. You can create those 3- 5 different pics using 1 RAW itself if you buy a good software , which is what most magazines do.

Hope this information helps.
