| Old Brick Wall |
The
above photograph is one of my first HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. In 2009 I was unaware of HDR photography when
I took this image. I was just trying out
some of the features of my Nikon D3 camera. Unfortunately, I only bracketed for three images at +/- 1 EV. When creating a HDR photograph you should use
+/- 2 EV at a minimal. On the Nikon D3
that means you need to bracket at least 5 images to get +/- 2 EV. You should also lockup the mirror, close the
view finder, use a tripod and a wired or wireless shutter release trigger. You can also use your camera’s timer instead
of a remote shutter release trigger. All
of that being said, I still like the way this brick-wall came out in the end. This brick-wall in the French Quarter of New
Orleans could be over two-hundred years old. Photography may not have existed when this wall was constructed. Like this brick-wall, HDR photography takes
planning to setup the shot for results that last over time.
