High dynamic range imaging (HDRI or HDR) is a set of methods used in image processing, computer graphics, and photography, to allow a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging methods or photographic methods. This post covers some extremely beautiful and perfectly executed HDR-pictures. Enjoy!
Rarely will you ever see a photo portfolio that is as beautiful as its content, however no one knows why that is. Designing a photography portfolio is neither a difficult nor time-intensive task, yet the a good photo portfolio is still hard to come by which makes the common photo editor miss the days of the portfolio book. Thus, the key to designing a great photo portfolio comes from the big black portfolio book.
A common mistake that designers make is making the site about the design rather than about the photos themselves. As a result, most of the sites we see are extravagant displays of flash animation that take forever to load. A good photo portfolio doesn’t need a design to set the mood or tone of the page because the photos will do that job for you. The design just needs to sit back and make sure that navigating the photos will be just as easy as turning the pages of a portfolio book. Here are some sites that demonstrate great photo portfolio design.
In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.
The two main sources of HDR imagery are computer renderings and merging of multiple photographs, the latter of which in turn are individually referred to as low-dynamic-range (LDR) or standard-dynamic-range (SDR) photographs.
Tone-mapping techniques, which reduce overall contrast to facilitate display of HDR images on devices with lower dynamic range, can be applied to produce images with preserved or exaggerated local contrast for artistic effect.
Photographers always in search of new innovation of modern techniques. For instance, an image at night with busy street etc.
In this article, we share some stunning Long Exposure Photography examples.
Photography is the process, activity and art of creating still pictures by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or electronic image sensors. In this article you can see some beautiful landscape photography. Click on any image, you will find the photographer’s gallery and more other details.
Kristopher Grunert is a professional Photographer and lives in Vancouver, Canada. His work is provoked by a curiosity to explore, observe and capture urban and rural spaces that appear isolated and empty despite traces of human presence. The commercial side of his business is creating architectural-industrial and landscape based photographs for editorials, corporate communications, and advertising. For more of his great work, visit his website or behance portfolio.
Macro photography is also known as close-up photography. Macro photography means that the image on film is approximately the same size as the subject. It is a type of photography that reveals details which can’t be seen with the naked eye. While we can see a fly on the wall, our eyes are not appointed to make out the fine details of the hairs on its face. It gives us a glimpse into the world of the very small, which goes unnoticed as we hurriedly shuffle through our day. In this showcase, I’ve collected some beautiful macro photos.
In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting— “good” or “bad” bokeh, respectively. Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions. Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights, as blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.
Architectural photography can be broadly considered to encompass views of the exteriors and interiors of domestic, commercial, religious, institutional, and engineering structures, as well as records of the evolution of towns and cities. Its aim may be to create either visual documents or expressive images for artistic, publicity, or propaganda purposes. Depending on format, carefully calculated camera movements and/or the use of special lenses are required, especially to control perspective.
Landscape photography is a genre intended to show different spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Many landscape photographers show little or no human activity in their photos, striving to attain pure, unsullied landscapes that are devoid of human influence, using instead subjects such as strongly defined landforms, weather, and ambient light. Despite this, there is no pure or absolute definition of what makes a landscape in photography, as such it has become very broad term, encompassing urban, industrial, macro and nature photography.
In this article, I am showcasing some of the most beautiful and breathtaking examples of landscapes. The links for the photographers who captured these can be followed by clicking the Image. You can download more beautiful landscape photos by using those links.
