About Do you like HDR effect? Do you think that it's artistic? Do you think that you need special skills to manage it?
It's a hoax.... look at Topaz lab site and download the trial version (or buy it) of the photoshop plug in called Adjust

You will have HDR effect just pressing a button !

So cool?

Detto come mangio.... saranno anche belli questi effetti HDR ma come sempre poi si svela il trucco (oppure qualcuno ci costruisce il trucco). Scaricatevi dal sito Topaz Lab il plug in Adjust e vedrete che fa tutto da solo.

Questa immagine è stata fatta recentemente a Zanzibar. Purtroppo la pellicola per un motivo imprecisato presentava una forte dominante verdognola, Quale miglior test per questo plug in?
Fra l'altro vi informo che la stessa casa produce molti altri plug in fra i quali uno per "lisciare" la pelle. Sapete come sono permalose ed esigenti le donne.... ;)

AA's zoning system was ALL ABOUT dodging and burning, he was so good he's plan it before he even took a shot.

I have liked the idea of hdr but very seldom the effect. Gary is onto something about the timelessness of it here, like todays photo as yesteryears biscuit tin lid. I DO like that!

Nice soft effect,i don't like the HDR when it's strongly observed coz it gives unnatural feeling, but here it makes good composition with the sun.
i think you did well not frightening the lady and avoid pushing her to fake an expression or give the camera the happy birthday smile.
i think what's so cool hearing the dark-room photographer discovering the magic and the power of the plastic button.
since i meet you in person i have to show my jealousy of how much pleasure you find in photography.
a dopo my friend.

e l'effetto non mi piace molto ma mette più in risalto i lineamenti e la carnagione della donna

Hello Ron,
I'm sure that HDR is something different from a simple "push the botton" but an HDR-like image can be done easily also with these tricks. Maybe since a year ago it was a genuine hand made activity but technology is running fast and fast and today it's affordable by everyone with these plug-ins.
I'm sure that there're still people working HDR manually but these plug-ins has reduced a lot the "fashion" of this technic (in my personal opinion).
Dodging and burning are very easy today in photoshop expecially because you can do and undo everytime you need without any waste of paper and money. Surely Mr. AA was not doing burning&dodging just squeezing a botton (eventually just squeezing the switch of the light of his enlarger ;) )
Bye

Hmmmm. I think that you may be missing the point of true HDR images. There is a difference between HDR and Topaz or Lucis effects. What gets credited as an HDR image is often a 1 button effect from some fancy software, but a good HDR cannot be dismissed as computer trickery. Keep experimenting. I'm sure when Ansel Adams first dodged or burned images many thought that he was "cheating" too.

Al di la' delle prestazioni sui bit, del plug-in, queta immagine secondo me e' molto potente, forte, l'espressione della signora e' il pezzo forte uno sgurado rassegnato ma fiero, anche le mani che lavorano hanno una forza intensa. Sari curioso di vederla in bianco e nero.

Ciao.

Ciao Morc,
il fatto è che per raggiungere certi risultati può anche non essere necessario scattare a varie sotto/sopra esposizioni, basta lanciare questo plug-in! Se poi sei anche pigro e non vuoi sbatterti a settare i parametri (sebbene ci siano già decine di preset) puoi farli scegliere a lui in modo random finchè non trovi quello che più ti aggrada.
Come dicevi tu, si tratta solo di alchimia di grafica computerizzata, manipolazione di bit.
Forza MAO!! :)

Hello Gary, you are right I'd to clone the dust spots but more than an effect they were really dust on the film and.... it's very boring to clean up all them :)

partecipo al dibattito;
per quanto mi riguarda, tutte queste foto HDR che vedo in giro (principalmente ritratti)sembrano tutti plasticoni. E' interessante il concetto di estendere la latitudine di posa con sovrapposizioni di diverse esposizioni ma gli algoritmi che ci sono dientro sono instabili, non modellano correttamente la fisica della luce ed insomma non stiamo parlando di fotografia ma di grafica computerizzata come lo è d'altronde la fotografia a sensori digitali. Quindi, per me...
MAO ad OLTRANZA !!

I'm not usually a fan of HDR, especially when it's over the top, but I like the faded look you've achieved here, it gives the image a timeless quality. I'd have cloned out the dust spots though, but you may have kept them for effect.
Regards, Gary

Mah, mi sembra che l'HDR sia l'ennesima trovata digitale, personalmente non riesco a sopportarlo... A proposito delle donne permalose ed esigenti, le fotograferei con la Delta 3200 sviluppata col Rodinal :))

Caspita che espressione!
Ha la stessa intensità di una di quelle donne permalose ed esigenti a cui solitamente non applichi il plug in per lisciare la pelle :-))))
