dublin docks in hdr
High-Dynamic-Range image... a very scientific name for a very simple technique.
HDR consist in taking 3 or more pictures of the same subject under different exposures (from the darkest to the lightest) and merging them in one to benefit from a single photo where highlights and darks are equally exposed.
You can check this post out for a demonstration of this technique.
Even though the photo might look a bit surreal at first, I surprised myself loving the result, making the subject a very cracking shot ! And what could have been better than taking HDR pictures in the docks, where old and modern buildings are mixed up, giving this place a very high architectural interest.
So here they are, my firsts HDR (shot with my EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6). Click on the vignette to enlarge.
