i like the second one!
superb shot, like a painting

Interesting shots and lightings....can you explain to me the principle difference between HDR photography and normal photography?

I do 3d illustrations with a realistic lighting simulations and camera. It just interest me to know if these effects can be simulated virtually. Im getting tired of typical architectural illustration look that floods the papers nowdays and looking for some fresh style to start with.

Thanks in advance!

sad to say. the press dont bother about art.. they go for cheap yet functional pictures. i feel u man.

Its not really the press fault. Some developers and architects stupidly able to ask for 'an imposing view of grandieur' of a badly designed condo which look like a low cost flat (no offence to the low cost house owners). and put an out off angle shot of KLCC at the background...its BS really an im tired of it.

google for HDR mate...

In HDR, a few shots are taken for the same scene, but at different exposure to capture a larger dynamic range. These shots are then combined using dedicated softwares such as PhotoMatix to compress the tones.

I know i can google.

But imho its more interesting to know from the photographers own perspective.

Added on February 22, 2008, 3:06 pmInteresting...principally HDR in phtography and HDRI usage in CG is similar....(duh)
bolded - compressing the tones...interesting...i'll try to acquire PhotoMatix....this one i google...

can i kacau ur thread a bit? hehe.. this one also HDR image.. night shot..

lawa!

err what is HDR?

High Dynamic Range (HDR) images.

another one..

google it mate!!! search for HDR or High Dynamic Range....

respect!!!!!!!!!!

Glad that it helps.

Walao... The color super fantastic geng....

Great works!

damn man the second pic made me gawk....rofl
awesome HDR pic man!

hehe
HDR is build in body kit or in lense??

Neither. It's a post-processing technique. But you do have to use your camera to get differently exposed shots of the same scene though.

ahhhh
so the pic is not original laaa
must learn photoshop laa after this
tq for ur answer

I would say that knowledge of Photoshop (or other equivalent) software is very much a must in this era of digital photography. Photoshop itself does support HDR, but PhotoMatix gives better effects when it comes to tone-mapping.

well agreed. come on.. let's make one day a photoshop tutorial for all.. or everyone can contribute their skills at the photography tips pinned thread.

nice pics, great shot !

yep. you certainly are there sir. one of the best hdr photos i've seen awesome!

The MECC shot is awesome!

whoaaaa... great.. love it.. =.=

I do have plans to come up with a writeup on this one. But I hope my skills would mature a little bit more before I do that.

oh ya.. writeup skills is something we altogether should learn.. we need bombastic words to compliment our photos right? hehe.. i think that'll make us different from other forums i've joined. just a suggestion though.

I meant my photography skills. But you're right anyway; writeup skill is something that we all ought to learn.

agreed
just share ur knowledge here

Hey guys, I have opened a new thread to showcase some of my other photos. Have a look here.

amazing architectural shots! looks more like a 3d rendering perspectives view to me... but its great!

Thanks!

seen this in other forums liao, gave my feedbacks there too

btw, we should pin a thread that elaborates what's HDR, just for the sake of enlightening those who wanna know about it.

This is a good suggestion.
