HDR Tip 7 – Tips from the Clubhouse
Trey’s Note: this is part of a week-long HDR Tip session with Rick Sammon. If you want to find out more, feel free to see the free HDR Tutorial or the more in-depth HDR Tutorial on Video.
We have an area of StuckInCustoms.com called The Clubhouse (people that get the video above get access) — I asked members in there to add their favorite short tips, and here they are a few:
Alex Suarez – “When shooting from a tripod, I like to hang my camera bag from the center column. Adding this extra weight firmly plants my tripod, further reducing the chance of camera shake.”
Marc (marcp_dmoz) – “If you are shooting in low light conditions and you can’t use a tripod, switch ‘Auto ISO Sensitivity Control’ on when bracketing for HDR.”
Eden Brackstone – “Never process your shots the same day you take them, allow your creative energy to build up and apply it when you will get the best results. Then, wait some more and revisit it. Ultimately, a late and well processed image is more valuable than a rushed one that you regret…”
And here is my last tip: “Practice RAW HDR processing a lot… there are countless moments that just don’t happen in brackets (like the photo below)”
