• Manual HDR - Part 1 (PDF file), 07-February-2008
First article in a series on how to handle scenes having a wide or high dynamic range (higher than the camera (digital or film) is capable of recording). The method presented in this article shows a quick “down-n-dirty” way of combining two exposures. There are other, more sophisticated methods of combining exposures, and I’ll publish articles later on that cover some of them. There are advantages and disadvantages to this method. This article does not go into great detail about all the fine points, but rather is meant to provide a quick and easy means of combining two exposures using tools we already have.
