I’ve been lucky!
I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to shoot with some of the best photographers in the world! And these are not just the few people that are on the cutting edge of HDR… just generally good photographers and good thinkers. There are several people out there still on my list to hit! Some of you may know who you are… the others may not!
After just getting to shoot with Kris Kros in LA, I thought I would show off a few of my favorite shots from these amazing artists…
First, in no particular order, we have the great Asmundur from Iceland:
And here is Valpopando in Naples, Italy:
Here is Rebekka in Iceland:
Here is Kris Kros from LA:
And last, here is Helga, yet another from Iceland!

The dirt bikers pic was processed in an amazing way. Which brings up an interesting question: Often, there is no practical way to bracket shots in order to produce an HDR picture. Sometimes, you only have one shot to work with because there are too many people or too much action or you forgot your tripod or whatever. So how does one create a “fake” HDR from one shot? Simply saturating the color isn’t enough, nor is running it through a filter like Photolift (which I love, especially for bringing out textures). I’m betting you’ve HDRed a single picture on more than one occasion. Do you mind giving us some tips on how to do it?

Linda, you can do an HDR from just one RAW — very easily. Did you see that part in my HDR tutorial? There is a link to the tutorial there on the right.

Great post Trey, you have had a chance to associate with many great photographers. I wonder why there are such good photographers/post processors in a country with a tiny population like Iceland? Singapore (for example) has a large population and a ZILLION good cameras in the hands of the population (cheaply), yet I know of only a handful of really good “hobby” photographers from there (but they ARE VERY GOOD!). I used to live there myself too.
Maybe the cold air gives people better eyes
Keep up the good work!

Actually, I have read your tutorial several times but my camera does not shoot RAW and I neglected to put that in my previous email. Unfortunately, I cannot afford a new camera these days, or I would definitely upgrade. I was thinking there may be a way to HDR a single JPG, but probably there is not. I have tried tricking Photomatix by saving three different versions of one picture (one dark, one light, one normal) and this does produce a better balanced photo. It’s a lot of screwing around though, so I don’t do it often. There is also a program available online called Redynamix, whch purports to produce HDR from a single JPG. I’ve used this from time to time and it does sometimes create interesting effects. Thanks for the response, though. Appreciate it!
