Featured Photos Weekly Challenge - HDR

This Week’s Challenge: #PRTV_hdrVia Toby - This week I was looking for images that provided a wide dynamic range without looking unreal - something the eye is capable of seeing but not taken to the extreme with saturation or clarity, or really even any additional color cast that happens in some HDR. I have a few small prizes I will be reaching out to our top picks soon.

Toby’s Features:

This spot looks nicely shady but detail throughout makes me feel like I am there.

When you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. . . . #sfbotanicalgarden #goldengatepark #sanfrancisco #onlyinsf #thesanfrancisco #alwayssf #sfguide #wildbayarea #howsfseessf #igerssf #sinfrancisco #naturephotography #nature_brilliance #naturegraphy #instanature #nature #naturegram #hdrphotography #hdr #adventureisoutthere #solitary #solitude #canon #teamcanon #prtv #prtv_hdr

I have been here, I know it’s tricky to shoot into the sun through the arch and still get detail in the shadows! Maxence did a fantastic job of balancing the lights and the darks here to produce a detailed rich image.

Sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park, Utah during our trip last week with @rabiertour. It was packed but as we arrived early we managed to pick a good spot and keep it until the sun rises. What a great show! Many more pictures to come from this trip, I have a lot from England before that but I had to post for this week's #prtv challenge, #prtv_hdr challenge! . . . . . #mesaarch #canyonlands #nationalpark #utahisrad #igutah #utahgram #wowutah #focalmarked #sunshine #visitutah #sunsets #instasky #skyporn #earlybird #mothernature #skylovers #dawn #naturephoto #main_vision #artofvisuals #watchthisinstagood #landscape_captures #awesome_earthpix #natureaddict #rsa_rural #awesomeearth #nature_wizards #ourplanetdaily @focalmark

Composition, colors, the detail in the grass - all combine to create a lovely scene. Well done!

Roy’s Features:

It’s a nice softer shot that works well to recover a lot of the shadows you’d otherwise miss from a backlit photo.

Para manter os detalhes tanto do sol quanto das sombras, foram tiradas 3 fotos: uma mediana, uma expondo para o céu e outra expondo para as montanhas. Por fim, todas foram juntas no photoshop. . . . . . . . . . #sunset #pordosol #montanhas #mountains #hdr #luminositymasks #pic #photo #picture #fotografia #canon70d #canon_70d #PRTV_hdr #light #luz #minasgerais #prtv

Using HDR in the case of a night shot is a nice way to get a few stars and expose your subject with a bit less noise.

Shooting from a cave’s light shaft is tough as there is quite the range of lit subjects to dark shadow making HDR a great choice.
