HDR Timelapse & Galleries
First off. I know I’m abusing the terminology. Both here and on twitter with my handle being HDRphotography. I’m well aware of how this is completely wrong. But twitter limits your handle and “TonemappingPhotography” was not available :)
Yes. I’m guilty of this misuse of the “HDR” call letters that really is tonemapped output. But the public (Flickr, etc…) has already associated the final image that has been “HDR’d” to be HDR. So in order to not fight the flow I just use the term HDR incorrectly to not confuse the masses. I’m basically saying… I don’t need anymore personal emails explaining technicalities and terminology. I’m fully aware that I’m a part of the problem and not the solution! :) Anyhoooo…
I’ve been VERY busy shooting lately. A builder and an architect for new clients has kept me quite busy behind the lens. Only a quick update tonight, BUT there is a storm heading my way late this weekend that will keep this area cloudy for a week (keeping me from shooting) so I’ll have time to update the blog next week.
I’ve not had a commercial need for timelapse, nor HDR Timelapse for that matter, but captured one this week that I’ll edit next week. Here is a capture of the capture (a snap shot of the timelapse in action taken with my Sigma SD14):
HDR TIMELAPSE
I’m not sure yet how the HDR Timelapse will turn out, but it didn’t interfere with the actual shoot (I was shooting on a lower level with my SD14 while the D3 was capturing the timelapse).
In the FWIW category… I tweeted this, but in case you missed it here is a recent shoot for a client that LOVES saturation (a rental company). Mostly because the water is such a selling point for folks who vacation here. In this case these were all shot with a D3 (no SD14 shots in this series). Not all the rooms are great, but hey… it’s not a portfolio shoot… its to show renters where the kids and family will play/sleep/eat. Very different atmosphere and lighting challenges on this shoot. I did the best I could.

Finally, a shoot for a Realtor’s new listing. I over cranked them a bit, but the lighting was tough. The haze that day was intense and I did the best I could to pull the windows in, but it was brutal. All D3 here as well:

That’s it for tonight. It’s been too long since the last update so felt like posting something! More useful posts to come next week!
