Setup & Shooting Exposures for HDR Photography

Video Transcript

My name is Brandon Sarkis, on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I'm going to give you an overview and introduction to HDR, or High Dynamic Range Photography. All right, so now let's show you how to set your camera up for Auto Exposure Bracketing. So you take your camera, and on this particular model, there's just a button on the back for auto exposure bracketing, which is really handy. So, you turn it at the top, you just hold down that button, and you'll see right here it says off, and you can turn this through, and it will do five exposures, or three exposures. So I'm going to go with three; that's what I usually do. And this button will actually select the exposure spacing, so I can do a half, a whole, one and a half, or two entire marks out from where I'm where the base exposure's at. I know that Canon and Nikon cameras, which this is not; it's actually back here. It'd be in the menu settings, back here in the back, under Auto Exposure Bracketing, but each camera is going to be a little bit different. But this one does it on top, and I know that some of the I know Pentaxes do it on top, as well, so that is that. All right, so I've set up my camera to take a shot here. When shooting HDR you want to make sure you use static stuff that isn't moving, because it has to align the composite images. So, let's look here on the top of the camera. You can see that I've got set up for triple exposures, at a spacing of two. So, I'm going to go ahead, and hit this once, okay. And what we're going to do is we're just going to hold down the button, and you'll hear it, you'll hear it click off all three shots. There you go, and next I'll show you what the photos, the differences in the actual photos. So, if you look here on the screen, you'll see there is one photo, there's the other, and there's the other. Let's keep looking at the same photo, just you can see their how the F-stop, and the aperture speeds have changed automatically on each photo. So, that's how you shoot in HDR.
