HDR

High Dynamic Range. when shooting against direct sunlight, notice that either your subject is dark or the sky is just blown away. there are a few ways to overcome this. one is by using a nd grad filter, photomerging in photoshop. lately, the 'in' technique would be HDR or High Dynamic Range. taking multiple shots in different exposures , then combining it in photoshop to get all the details at every exposure level. it creates somewhat of a 3d image.

here are some shots using this technique. doesn't have the 3d look cause the sun wasn't behind the subject.still the sky has plenty of detail, which is pretty cool. the pics are of oogaki's new church.it's now a 30 mins walk from the station but at least now it has somewhat a resemblance of a church. more of it next post!
