Fig 13.8 Using fine colour hues and image structure to generate spatial depth with HDR. For the photo in Fig. 13.8 the following camera settings were used: - ISO 200 - Aperture 8 - Bracketing with 7 single shots / 1 EV difference - RAW format
With HDR photography it was even possible to reveal the details of the spiderwebs in the backlight situation. Compared with the images in Fig. 13.4 and 13.5, where the exaggerated local contrast led to artistic effects, the photo in Fig. 13.11 was tone mapped rather naturalistic. The goal for the image processing was to generate the look of the final image as natural as possible. Since the working place beyond the windows was really very dark, the contrast of the scene became so high, that the windows in the rendered HDR image kept overexposed.
Fig 13.9 The realistic look of the scene can be achieved with the appropriate tone mapping of an HDR. For the photo in Fig 13.9 the following camera settings were used: - ISO 200 - Aperture 8 - Bracketing with 7 single shots/ 1 EV difference
