High Dynamic Range Photography How to create an HDR Photo video

The Problem Here's the problem in a nutshell: Real-world scenes contain light ranges that exceed a 50,000:1 dynamic range. For over a thousand years, media has been limited to around a 300:1 dynamic range. So you have a mapping issue: how do you represent light values in a scene using a much more limited set of light values for a particular media? The answer – “Tone mapping” = Using the best light information from not one but a variety of photographs, combining them into one perfect ambient lighting photo!

A Light meter is a device used to measure the amount of light. In photography, a light meter is often used to determine the proper exposure for a photograph.light photographyexposure The exposure has a meter reading which can be changed manually to acquire an under or over exposed photograph.

Movement is the enemy of HDR. This means that you have to watch for everything that moves. Here is a list of common ghosting* candidates: People Cars, bicycles, and other vehicles Larger animals (dogs, cats,...) Small animals (birds, butterflies,..) Clouds Water Flags Trees and plants in wind (means nearly always ☺)
