Hi, first post here.
I did three shots, 4s, 8s, 15s, then merged them together as HDR. I processed the output filt in three ways:
- The first image is the "cleanest" - or the most similar to reality.
- The second one is contrasty.
- The third one is contrasty + B&W.
Which one do you like more? I love the third one.
Have you ever used HDR with long exposures? What do you think about it?
Cheers
Hi
first of all, i don't do HDR anymore (meaning using a dedicated sotware)
I do exposure blending quite often, but when it comes to flowing water, i don't use it onthe water.
When I shoot water, I always try diifferent shutter speeds. And there is ony one look that settle on. Using hdr would mix that look with others, create artefacts or unwanted effects.
So choose a shutter speed, and develop from that base
And in your example, I would have use a faster speed (1/2sec to 1/10sec) to really emphasize the water flow
