Photographers

Well I looked up a few photographers, to gain an even broader perspective and what I can do as a photographer. Im self taught and so this is all read, note, understand, attempt, reflect type process.

Trey Ratcliffe is a contemporary photographer who focuses on the theme of 'Travel'. He sees the world as Rich, vibrant, romantic — like a movie! His genereal technique is HDR (High Dynamic Range) Which is a set of methods used to capture grater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. Trey himself states HDR as "you can see all the light in the final photo that you can see when you are standing on the scene." Mostly it is created using HDR software, Trey uses the Photomatix Pro. Despite this he has recommended Photoshop as another software program to use which is great as this is the software I use.


I've decided to follow his tutoria and try to create my own HDR photo for research purposes as I have not taken HDR images before and I am all about exploring and learning new ideas.
When looking at his tutorial and how to set the camera I realized one major flaw. I don't have a top range camera. I have a decent digital camera that when I went to look through the settings found a HDR setting. So I decided to go with it and went out into my yard and began shooting.
