HDR Photo of Sky Over Baltimore Rowhouses

in #photography7 years ago

I just recently started taking bracketed photos (in this case three photos 1/3 stop apart) and Google Photos has been discovering them and merging them into one HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo. The automated results may not be perfect, but they are pretty darn good! You can see some accidental vignetting in the top left corner, for instance, which you might avoid if you're making the HDR photo yourself. In this case, I sort of like it. Looks like I have some kind of a fancy filter on there.

My normal style would have been to get in closer to the houses, stop down, and go for a more narrow depth of field, blurring out the clouds in the background. But here I did something different, and the results are pretty striking, I think.

Shot with a Fuji XT-20 with their 23mm f2 lens, f/11, 1/1000, ISO 1250. (Not sure why I had the ISO up that high. It was a gray day, but you can tell from the shutter speed that I could have had it set much lower.)

Lovely results! Did you use Velvia film simulation or just the standard settings?

Thanks! Just standard settings on the camera. Saturation and contrast were bumped a little on my iPad Photos app.
