AEB and HDR

Published on February 20, 2010 in Photoshoppin'. 2 Comments

Just thought I would post a couple of pics I took today. I am experimenting with a couple of techniques I learned at the Photoshop seminar in Portland last week.

AEB is done on the camera, and it stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. It involves taking three (or more) identical photos with three different exposures (using a tripod!). Then, with a procedure called HDR (High Dynamic Range), the three pictures are merged together to get better detail in highlights and shadows. I played with the settings on the living room picture, so it is more of a photo-illustration.

Here is one from out in the yard…. and yes, it was sunny today!

Photoshop… My kind of shopping!

One of the main tools in my toolbox turns 20 this month! I first started using Photoshop (version 3.2) in 1993. Photoshop changed everything! What would I be doing if this program had never been invented? Probably this. (Or something like it!)

Here are a few of my own Photoshop favorites:

The earliest one I could find, named “Tillin’ the Taj Mahal”
Dated 2001, this art was created for an ad jn the St. Paul Rodeo program.
