dsc_0003_2_1_tonemapped

Not bad, eh!  For comparison, here’s a regular photo of the same shot (what I normally would have produced before the magic of HDR) -

dsc_0002

Pretty amazing difference.

Here’s another video on using Photomatix that gets really specific on Tone Mapping.

Just for my own notes:

  • Nikon D60 on A (Aperture) mode
  • manually set exposure to +2 / 0 / -2 for 3 consecutive shots
  • batch process in Photomatix Pro
