HDR

HDR photos are actually very common. Almost every phone in modern times has one. HDR enhances color, shading, and highlight in a photo. Most photos you will see today of landscapes are HDR. with a DSLR camera, you have to make an HDR if you want one. First you take 3 photos of the same thing (use a tripod so all the pictures are the same). One regular photo (photo 1 blelow), one photo underexposed by 2 stops (photo 2 below) and one photo overexposed by 2 stops (photo 3 below). Use photoshop to hide the parts of each photo you dont want in. That means the final product has the best parts of each image.

when it comes to taking photos of any person, as well as composition and lighting, you need good poses. The 123 pose, and the 122 pose are effective poses for any photo of a person, 123 for females, 122 for males. when taking a photo, you want to pay attention to whether or not the background draws attention to the focal point of the photo. my favorite part of this assignment would be head shots.
