Do the 'Impossible': How to Create Exciting Photographs and Effects with Cutting Edge HDR Photography
Boone, NC (PRWEB) September 25, 2008 -- Now you can take great photographs despite challenging light conditions, or learn to create astonishing and artistic high quality visual effects. What photographers used to think was virtually impossible just got a whole lot easier with High Dynamic Range or HDR photography.
In this week's free 7 Photography Questions podcast with host Dr. Audri Lanford, master photographer Tony Sweet, the author of four books and hundreds of articles, answers 7 of the biggest questions about HDR photography -- which is one of the most exciting new areas of digital photography.
"With HDR photography," explains Sweet, "The photographer can emphasize shadows or tone them down, because HDR provides complete control over the entire dynamic range of the image. The important thing is to get familiar with what HDR software can do and learn how to expose images so you get all the highlights and all the shadows. Once you get those two things nailed down, you're on your way."
Sweet gives easy to understand answers to the most asked HDR photography questions:
? The biggest secret photographers need to know to get the best HDR images.
? How many different exposures to take for optimum results.
? The preferred format for shooting HDR and the best HDR software to use.
? Which types of cameras, lenses, and accessories to use for HDR.
? How to choose the ideal subjects for shooting HDR images.
? Exercises listeners can do to improve their HDR photography skills.
Towards the end of the interview, Sweet shares his own HDR photographs and explains how he got their various unique looks and amazing effects.

Is Digital Photography Better Than Classic Photography?
When it comes to photography, the digital wave is very much in evidence and yet, both operate on the same principles. Both have a lens, an aperture and a shutter. The difference lies in how the image is formed. Classic or traditional photography uses film on which the image is captured and then developed in a darkroom with chemicals to give you negatives. These need to be printed before you can see the picture in its final form. In a digital camera, you bypass all these processes because the image is captured by an electronic sensor. You aim, click and almost immediately, you can see the picture you took in the viewfinder. There is no developing, no negatives, no printing. Just the sensor which is actually millions of pixels or megapixels w...
