HDR – Rosehill Cemetery

A couple of days ago, I grabbed my camera and tripod and went to Rosehill Cemetery & Mausoleum to take a stab at HDR photography. I thought the different types of stone markers would make great subject matter for HDR imaging. Plus, it was an overcast day and I thought it might add a dramatic mood to the images, too.

These images are comprised of 5 different exposures -2,-1, 0, +1, and +2. My camera (Nikon D700 w/24-70mm 2.8 lens), while mounted to a tripod, was put into bracket mode, set to 5 exposures (one stop apart as previously described), and the shutter release set to CH (continuous high).

HDRsoft’s Photomatix was used to compile the images and tone mapping was selected to create the final HDR image.

Well done on the conversions. They look wonderful. Nice restrained and thoughtful treatment. It gives a nice appropriate mood (especially the first shot). You were shooting in Auto Bracketing mode, right? I try to bracket manually because I find the camera doesn’t always manage to nail the exposure. But it looks like no problems here.

Thanks, Eric! I really appreciate your opinion regarding HDR imaging, your HDR work has been an inspiration. Yeah, it shot these using Auto Bracketing, next time I will try it manually.
