HDR

On your blog, pick a couple of images you found that were processed in HDR and post them on your blog in a post titled HDR photography.

Please answer the following questions:

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image?
Changing the luminosity (ISO or shutterspeed)  from very dark, to intensely bright.
2. What equipment would you use to take this type of image?
A tripod, a HDR photo-blending software, and a camera.
3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image?
To enhance a scene that one believes was not captured well (blown-out) even though you either tried everything, or everything you tried works but still doesn't make the scene look good..

4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo?
More colors appearing, stronger contrast gradient from a dark to light, stronger, vibrant colors.

Now since you do not have access to a DSLR, let's explore some ways you can do this using your phones. If you have an iPhone, you will have a setting in your phone that will do all the work for you. If you have an android, they also have a setting. You will most likely have to go into Settings>Camera> and find it. For those of you on a newer iPhone at iOS 13+ it is most likely already active. If you are going to use a DSLR, you will have to follow the directions and create it the proper way.

BUT - there is more. Once you take a photo using HDR, I want you to utilize the filters in your phone to adjust the photo even more. Here are the filters you should adjust: SATURATION, VIBRANCE AND DEFINITION. Play with those filters and try to make the image POP as much as you can. Of course, you can do whatever you want with your filters, but the goal is to try to make this image look as much like a true HDR image as possible.

Do this for TWO (2) images when you turn them in.
