Thanks for another great podcast, which has made for a fun, interesting, and informative sunday morning. Have a good one guys and gals.
Thanks for addressing my question!
Hey Guys!
Great interview. Fred asked Ben if you can make a light painted HDR. Ben said not really, because you have to make multiple exposures for the HDR, which you can’t do with light painting. All of which is true, except for the fact that you can make an HDR out of a single shot. I do urban exploration photography, we light-paint pitch back rooms and buildings in long exposures all the time. You can take your single light-painted shot in RAW and make 3 different exposures out of your one photo to make the HDR. I do it all the time.
Having said all this, HDR purists (which I am not) say that true HDR is only made with at least 3 individual exposures. I personally don’t care if you make it with one or 15 exposures, its still HDR in my book. I’m gunna assume Ben either doesn’t know about this method, or is a purist. (or forgot to mention it :-))
