I dug through my archives to find an image that I feel represents a situation that absolutely calls for HDR. Just leave a comment below or send me a tweet What You’ll Need to Follow Along If I don’t know the answer, I’ll try and find someone who does. I am more than happy to help in any way that I can, so don’t hesitate to ask. That’s just the nature of the beast unfortunately. There may even be features I go over that aren’t available in other programs. If you have Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CS4 instead of CS5, same thing. If you use HDR Effects Pro instead of Photomatix, same story. If you use Aperture instead of Lightroom, you will simply have to translate. The same goes for the software programs I’m teaching from. If you shoot Nikon, you may just have to do a bit of extra work to translate what I’m saying and apply it to your situation. Since I don’t use Nikon, I can’t give advice on their camera settings. Nikon is just as good (if not better) for HDR shooting than most Canon models. I’ve shot Canon my whole life because Canon was the first camera I purchased. I got a few comments on why I didn’t mention how to do it from a Nikon perspective. In the first part of the series, we discussed everything you need to know about setting up your camera for HDR shooting. It just depends on the image, how difficult it is, what issues it has or doesn’t have, and how quick you are in post. I’ve processed HDR photos in 10 minutes, and I’ve processed HDR photos in 4 hours or more. With HDR, you can get everything possible right in camera, and still have a steep hill in post to climb. One photo can take less than 30 seconds to edit if you get most of it right in camera. With a normal image, you can import it into Lightroom, fix the exposure if it’s off a bit, correct the white balance, bring in some fill light, add some detail, do some quick healing, and you’re done. Post processing is where your image actually becomes an HDR. Today we’re going to tackle the post processing beast. Congratulations if you’ve made it here, there has been a lot of information thus far, and this final part is going to be no different.
