thank you very much for showing me i was shooting a building last evening I was to far away to get the effect i will retake it next week with weather permits
Hi, my lightroom 6 does not have HDR , I wonder if Lightroom CC 2020 has HDR features ?, do you know ?, or wich HDR software you reconend best ?, great video Thank you for sharing your knowlage ✌️😎👍
Not to criticize any of your video: My new Sony RX10 III got an "Auto HDR" feature which is ideal for beginners like me. When you press the shutter button it takes a normal picture and one with Auto HDR. This allows you to compare and select later on and the feature drastically improved many of my landscape shots and travel pictures. The camera does all the editing and combining. No lightroom or other software needed.
Amazing tutorial :) Lightroom is very easy and straightforward. :) I don't have a DSLR but I can even shoot HDR with my point and shoot. :) They are not as good as slrs but with respect to my POS,they look amazing :)
Very lucid and informative tutorial, albeit, maybe a little fast when discussing the removal of the dust bunny, things you may expect us to know or that have nothing to do w/ HDR (subject of video). Makes me wonder how fast you run though the information in the Lightroom tutorial package you sell? I may be slower than others and am the definition of beginner. :) :) Thanks for the lesson, Steph
What is the dark spot on the side of the windows on the left? I thought initially that it was there from the gradient editing. That did not seem to be there when you took the photos.
I thought you said you set up the camera to take 5 shots at .7 difference. But then, further in the video, in Lightroom, you said they were one stop difference? Also, did you shoot Raw or Jpeg. If you shot Jpeg, did you turn off DRO? Also, what were the other Sony camera settings?
Well, I was hoping you would explain how to take the pictures manually. AEB is fine, as is waiting for natural light to change, but in a studio with a camera that doesn't have AEB, how would you take the shots? I think you would just vary the shutter speed to get the different exposures, but was hoping to confirm that or learn the proper way.
I read somewhere you can set your camera (Nikon D90) to HDR mode without taking multiple shots or in RAW. The camera will automatically combined all 3 exposures within the camera to just one photo. Can this be done?
Could you reproduce the same effects of the HDR by just making some Lightroom changes to the regularly exposed photo? Or would the lessened amount of detail prevent it from matching up to the HDR?
Hello, new to DSLR's and this is an interesting technique to learn. Thanks for the video. I have a D3300 and found out I do not have a AEB. Is there a way I can still do this technique with manual shooting modes? Would it be the shutter speed to adjust and if so what speeds? Thank you.
+RoseKindred You change shutter speed to (depending on the situation) lets say -2 0 +2 You WILL need a tripod as every time you will make those changes the frame will move a little. DON'T change aperture as it will change the DoF Depth of Field. Also, don't change the ISO. Just the shutter. If you are really into HDR, you will need AEB in the future!
***** Thanks. It took a few moments to realize the -2 0 +2 was in reference to the exposure gauge on the camera. Going from point-click to DSLR I am thinking the -2 0 +2 was changing the shutter time in seconds.
+RoseKindred Kindly don't take my comment in a wrong way, but if you are that new to manual photography, perhaps you should learn the fundamentals first. HDR is a little advanced of a technique, maybe you should start with getting acquainted with the fundamentals first. I liked "The Fundamentals of Photography by John Greengo" the most. Also I read my camera manual and some beginner's websites and books. Once you learned how to use the manual mode of your camera completely and can read your camera screen and what all the values and histogram means, then move up to advanced photography like HDR.
***** No offense taken. I am in a photography class at school and even though most of us are new to DSLR's he basically told us all these items we must learn in the semester. HDR was in the discussion for the photo assignment and in a few moments instructed us how to 'fake it' by using the same image and changing the contrast / exposure in the RAW file 3 to 5 different times. We spent a whole whopping 7 minutes learning it (eye roll). So I wanted to learn how to do it in the camera, then learned I do not have a camera with AEB. I am not completely new to manual mode, just manual in a DSLR. My point/click I used the A or S modes.
+RoseKindred I personally don't like fake HDR as a lot of pixels get 'damaged' in my opinion in that. And since I like natural looking HDRs, the cartoonish and animated looking HDRs make me cringe, I don't like fake HDR even further, since the fake ones tend to look a lot less natural and a lot more cartoonish. However, your instructor used the best possible method of fake, by using the RAW with changed exposures several times. This MIGHT make it look COMPARATIVELY more natural than the ones who use just one JPG (not even a raw!) and fake HDR it. I'm pretty much hooked to HDR, so much so, that I end up bracketing even where I know it wouldn't do much better since there is not as much a range (lot of bright dark variation!). HDR and extremely long exposure shots of 15 secs to 2 mins are what I'm hooked to the most. I'm now planning to do a night city HDR of extremely long exposures and short exposure to create the city skyline as best as possible, but just am NOT getting the time for it (procrastinating!) Even if you are pretty good with manual and know the fundamentals pretty good, you might still want to check that "Fundamentals of Photography by John Greengo". I think I had it downloaded from some torrent and I still can find it in my torrent searches! It is a little over 10 GBs. I still keep visiting his videos and am amazed how it still manages to teach me something every time, even after these many years! It is THAT good and THAT detailed!
bbhrdzaz - You could use any of those modes. I happened to shoot this manual, but I usually shoot Aperture and sometimes shutter priority for similar shots. And I happened to use autofocus for this, but I could just as easily have used manual focus. I didn't dwell on these aspects because it doesn't matter, and I didn't want to imply that it did. Any method that lets you get the shot will work. Stabilization should always be turned off when you use a tripod.
Hi Andrea, it's different on each camera, so I suggest searching for your camera name and "auto exposure bracketing" and you'll find instructions online.
I believe if you don't have bracketing, you can either take the right exposure picture and 1, 2 or three under exposure and 1, 2, or three over exposed photos by changing the shutter speed or the aperture and combine them as shown on the video or on photoshop. I hope that helps.
@@steeletraining yeah it is. i would have loved to visit this estate in runcorn - it's amazing! cdnassets.hw.net/dims4/GG/4f156e3/2147483647/resize/850x%3E/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdnassets.hw.net%2Fc0%2F9e%2F8c68a2ae40b1a385744a5f3968f0%2F1976-20c-20riba9949-tcm20-658839.jpg
some people make the best teachers. you sir are one of them.
So glad i found this channel, good structure and very well thought out. Very good teacher!
Thanks for the kind words. You can find even more videos of mine on my website at www.steeletraining.com
That is a bloody cool building!
Dom, yeah, it's cool enough to have its own Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisel_Library
bloody right!!
in manual you set both the aperture and shutter speed - so check that your shutter speed is changing between the shots (assuming same aperture)
thats my school library!
I admire how you give such concise tutorial on photography. Thumbs up to you Mr. Steele 😃
Extremely pleasant and informative video. Thank you!
Thank you you are a excellent teacher. This was very easy and understandable the way you presented HDR.
That was amazing. Never knew about hdr photography at all.
Really nice tutorial. You explained the process simply and in an easy way to understand. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words! Comments like that keep me inspired to do more.
Wonderful to come across a suburb training video. Also, a lovely HDR rendition.
thanks alot! you helped us with our photography project we are grade 6 students
BEST photo video ever. Thank You !
Thank God for modern cameras and HDR settings 😄
Another top tutorial from a top tutor. Thank you.
David Croft Thank you, David!

Thanks for this going on a shoot this weekend to try this
Thanks 🙏 very helpful
This is great! I go to UCSD and wanted to take this shot OMG. Thank you so much
John Connor - Thanks John. It's a great building and fun to photograph!
For anyone who doesn't want to buy lightroom, darktable is free and also supports making HDRs
Lol. Lightroom and photoshop are only $10/month

Its just a toy though for pro work. We need to be able to do our blending in post.
Excellent for new learner like me,thank you sir.

Great tutorial but I'm interested in how you removed that concrete patch. Did you use Content Aware in PS?
+Michael Miller probably, that tool is insane. It even works with water.
+Hagan Williams Yes it is. Great tool.
Well, I was hoping you would explain how to take the pictures manually. AEB is fine, as is waiting for natural light to change, but in a studio with a camera that doesn't have AEB, how would you take the shots? I think you would just vary the shutter speed to get the different exposures, but was hoping to confirm that or learn the proper way.

Wow, this was a fantastic video. I learned so much about HDR. Thank you very much for sharing this! :)
this was so helpful! thank you so much :)
What camera are you using? Looks like a compact. Would love to know. Thank you
It looks like Sony a6000? Nice shots. Very crisp
Debbie Borato Yes, Sony a6000. And I was using my Canon 5D3 to shoot the video.
Could you reproduce the same effects of the HDR by just making some Lightroom changes to the regularly exposed photo? Or would the lessened amount of detail prevent it from matching up to the HDR?
Well done
Thank you!

Nice example
Wow great
Great info, thx!
Are you using Lightroom 6?, I am using Lightroom 5.
is this aperture priority, shutter priority or all manual? is the lens set to manual or auto focus? do you use image stabilization?
bbhrdzaz - You could use any of those modes. I happened to shoot this manual, but I usually shoot Aperture and sometimes shutter priority for similar shots. And I happened to use autofocus for this, but I could just as easily have used manual focus. I didn't dwell on these aspects because it doesn't matter, and I didn't want to imply that it did.

Normally you shouldn't activate image stabilization while using a tripod.
That was very helpful, thank you :)
very good video ... thanks :)
hello I plan on coming to SanDiego where is this building located at
UCSD campus library.
How do you set auto exposure bracketing on camera?
Hi Andrea, it's different on each camera, so I suggest searching for your camera name and "auto exposure bracketing" and you'll find instructions online.
Interesting but wish you had shown us how you set the camera itself.
thank you, but after editing..how to share for instagram high quality?!
Thats good! Thanks a lot.
Good tips! This photo would make a wicked jigsaw puzzle. >:)
Awesome
how did you import them to lightroom
What about phones that can take HDR photos
Nice
What mode on the camera? M, S, A...??
can I have people like you for all my teachers please >.< some of my teachers barely even teach anything
How about the blue from the fake sky on the side of the building?
How the exposure change 2 stop if the shoot 5 picture?
2stop under, one stop under, perfect, one stop over, 2 stop over = 5
Why there are dark corners in your images?
I have canon 700D how can i do that !
I believe if you don't have bracketing, you can either take the right exposure picture and 1, 2 or three under exposure and 1, 2, or three over exposed photos by changing the shutter speed or the aperture and combine them as shown on the video or on photoshop. I hope that helps.
damn you're good. :)
💯
You did a bad thing to crop it. It looked much better not centred.
mine makes 1k like !yay !!!

brutalist architechture?
About as brutal as it gets.
@@steeletraining i actually don't mind the brutalist stuff but i know a lot of people don't like it lol
It can be done beautifully or badly. I think this building is great.
