The high contrast of normal sunny daylight scenes is often hard to capture with a single shot. HDR photography circumvents these limitations by combining multiple exposure values in a single image. This one-day workshop is a combination of hands-on shooting and classroom instruction that explores advanced techniques in tonemapping using Photomatix Pro to create the HDR image.

• How does it work
• Why is HDR important
• Capturing multiple shots
• Balance f-stop, exposure and ISO
• Good bracketing sequences
• Merging images to HDR
• What alignment methods work best
• Limits of HDR merging (moving objects, moving camera)
• Why does HDR help with noise
• Tonemapping with Photomatix Pro
• Lens defects and how to handle them: Chromatic aberrations (CA), distortions
• Correcting perspective in Photoshop
