HDR Photography with Scott Kelby on Weekly Photo Tips

http://www.weeklyphototips.com/

This week Weekly Photo Tips is starting what we hope will become a regular addition to our YouTube channel, guest speakers.

What better way to start it than with the Photoshop God himself, Scott Kelby. This week Scott gives us a great tip on HDR photography.

While Scott was visiting Maine we took him on a tour of the mill complex where our studio is located as well as a drive along the coast of Maine and think we gave him just what he was looking for when it comes to HDR photography.

From what Scott Kelby tells me our own Scott gets to keep his title as the best "Fixer" on the East Coast when it comes to personalized photography tours.

As always, thanks for stopping by and a big thank you to Scott Kelby; see you all next time on...

Why not use a cable release and mirror lock up?

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

@flyonwall360 you could, just wasn't how he chose to shoot it at the time (no cable release on location)...

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

You nailed that! He LOVES music.

To be fair folks, when you are crawling around/through many floors of a large abandoned factory building you are limited regarding the amount of equipment you can/want to carry.

Also, prior to heading into the building we had not anticipated finding/photographing such a dark area nor did we anticipate the need for a cable release.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

;)

Thanks for watching the video.

He is not trying to keep the shutter button pressed; he is trying to prevent camera shake.

By using the timer you press the shutter release, remove your finger, and the timer will take the image after any movement caused by touching the camera will have stopped.

Because it is dark and the shutter will be open so long pressing the shutter release to immediately fire the camera any movement that may be caused by touching the camera will be “captured”, giving you a “less than sharp” image.

I can't say for sure, but I think he used HDR Pro in CS5.

Could you please make a tutorial on how to make those five shots into one finished product on Photoshop? I understand ho to take the photos but a tutorial on how to put them together masterfully... would be really helpful.

[ChillOutMaann]

[minimite312]

Why not just use a shutter release cable instead of the timer?
