1.2 How to Take Photos for HDR Processing

Taking photos for HDR is easy. All it takes is a different mindset than for traditional photography, which

emphasizes taking and editing a single photo, independent from any others.

Instead of taking a single exposure of a scene, for HDR you take at least 3 exposures: one optimized for midrange

tones (as normal), plus one optimized for highlights and one optimized for shadows. This strategy for capturing

more of a scene’s true dynamic range, with exposures above and below a standard exposure, is called “exposure

bracketing”.

The resulting “bracketed set” of photos contains, as a group, more complete and true exposure information

than any single image capture can possibly contain. The purpose of HDR software like Photomatix Essentials

is to artfully combine this bracketed set into a single image, to achieve more faithful realism, or heightened

realism, or artistic effect.

But these artistic choices come later. The first step is capturing good bracketed sets.

1.3 Set Up Your Camera

HDR photography requires that you set up your camera a bit differently than normal:

• Set your camera to Aperture Priority (“A” setting) so that only the shutter speed varies between the exposures.

• Select a low ISO, such as ISO 100 or lower.

• Turn off the flash. The flash may try to balance the exposure of all the images, when the goal is a range of

exposures.

• A tripod is typically recommended, but is not required, as Photomatix Essentials includes options to

automatically align hand-held bracketed sets.

DSLR cameras and some compact digital cameras offer Automatic

Exposure Bracketing (AEB). This enables you to automatically take three

or more exposures in a row: one at the proper exposure, one or more

underexposed, and one or more overexposed. Follow these steps if your

camera offers an AEB mode:

• Select the Continuous Shooting mode on the camera’s drive setting.

Consult your camera manual for model-specific instructions for using

this setting.

• Set the camera to Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB)

• If possible, use the camera’s self-timer setting, a remote control or a

cable release to minimize camera shake.

• Set the exposure increment to +/- 2 EV for optimal exposure range. If

your camera does not offer +/- 2 EV exposure increments, select the

maximum possible. Consult your camera’s manual for model-specific

instructions for choosing this setting.

You can find videos and screenshots on how to set up Automatic Exposure

Bracketing (AEB) with various camera models on the page here:
