Hakster Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Just wondering how this photo effect is achieved? What sort of equipment do I need or can it be done without expensive equipment?Thanks,Hakan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 More than likely done by adjusting colour, brightness and contrast in a photo editing package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 HDR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt123roll Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 It's called a HDR (high dynamic range). It's done by using exposure bracketing to take usually 3 or more photos and then combining them in post production.You usually take 1 photo that's overexposed, one photo that's under exposed and finally on thats correctly exposed.When combined you get the best of every image so nice highlights, details in the shadows you wouldn't normally get etc.It can be a good technique but is often overused and over tuned which makes the image apear grungey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakster Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Great, thanks for the explanations guys!So taking different exposure photos requires a high end camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I don't think it looks so much HDR, more overprocessed on the curves....but yes; HDR can be ,and is often overdone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakster Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 thats done on an iphone app seems doubtful, what app would this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Untouched apart from a crop...30 sec's in photoshop...A bit of burning and dodging, sharpening and colour adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakster Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Looks good silver!, i'll have to take some good photos of mine and try this out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Doesn't seem to have enough halo to be HDR tbh. Loadsa iPhone apps you can do this on, or gimp is a good free program you can install on your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thooooom Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 to me it looks like an instagram (smart phone app) photo with a filter and that brightness button pressed.i dont exactly know how the brightness button works on instagram but it always makes stuff look better.
