Exposure merging extremes.
What are the most extreme exposure merges? I was thinking I'd try photographing a person near the sun, then photograph the sun with solar filter to bring out full range of colors then combine images.

If you are going for what I think you are, read your camera and editing software docs for “Exposure stacking” - it sounds like you’re trying to do something manually that just takes using two menus properly manipulated to accomplish.

Named the output Wowsa and wowsa2 respectively. Colorful for sure, but not what I was hoping for. Nov 20 23 05:07 pm Link Nov 20 23 08:43 pm Link The Other Place wrote: Yep! This is a great technique, so long as there is very little movement in the scene. Nov 22 23 05:49 pm Link All I can say is Wowsa!

In fact, both of those things shoot HDR video. Nov 22 23 08:19 pm Link Looks like involving a solar filter might not be good for HDR photos? I have tried a long exposure with it on and the earth looks like mars. Not sure if that alone makes it a no go. Nov 24 23 10:30 pm Link |
