Handheld HDR can yield impressive results with steady shooting and modern software’s alignment capabilities. Be mindful of potential pixel loss around the edges due to movement, making a tripod preferable but acknowledging the value of the handheld approach when circumstances demand.

HDR Photography:
HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography is a technique that captures a wide range of luminosity levels in a single image. By combining multiple shots taken at different exposures, it enhances details in both bright and dark areas, making it ideal for scenes with high contrast. The process involves tone mapping to balance tones and create a visually appealing final image. HDR is widely used in landscape and architectural photography, providing realistic or artistic effects. While powerful, it should be applied judiciously to avoid unnatural results.

HDR photography involves blending multiple bracketed images to capture a wider tonal range, making it useful for scenes with high contrast. It’s not necessary for all situations and requires a tripod and still subjects due to limitations.

In reply to ChshreCat. If you tinker around Photomatix a bit, you do get great and natural looking HDR. You did see the results in the article. Although the settings Photomatix uses to create a image when you first load it can be wrong, you need to tweak them. Personally I feel Photomatix is easier and probably better than Photoshop.

I’ve never managed to get Photomatix to give me anything except “The HDR Look” and I finally gave up on the program entirely. Now I merge them in Photoshop, output straight to ACR and then adjust in Photoshop after that. Photomatix always made things either flat or dayglo crazy.

I might also add that in Photomatix I find the “Details Enhancer” method gives the most natural look. By far the most important slider adjustment is the “Strength” slider. The default is 70 but I find that to strong which may introduce haloing so I lower it to 50 or less, sometimes as low as 10. I’m not looking to get a finished result in Photomatix just a good exposure with no haloing or artifacting. I then process it in Photoshop and then Perfect Effects from onOne software. Here is an example showing how HDR can work in very bright sunlight with harsh shadows and very bright highlights. Three exposures, f/22, ISO100, 1/4s, 1.0s, 4s.

It’s really not important to shoot at f/8 or f/11. Any aperture will work depending on the depth of field look your going for. What is important is to keep the aperture the same for all of your exposures so you maintain a uniform depth of field. I shoot in Aperture Priority mode with my ISO at 100. This way the bracketed photos with only differ in the shutter speed. I also shoot 3 exposures 2 stops apart and find that works in almost all circumstances.

Articles on HDR very useful. What format do you use for original image capture. RAW? JPEG?
