Playing around with HDR night photos on the Epic from our cruise a couple weeks ago:

HDR is high density range

 

 

Where is everyone? Did you sail EPIC alone?

High dynamic range ... it is a photography technique to bring out colors etc that might otherwise be missed ...

 

Plus in general makes purty photos that are fun to look at. :)

HDR (High-dynamic range imaging) is where you take a number of photos with different settings - some under exposed, and some over exposed - then combine them into a single picture. It allows areas that would be in shadows or too bright in a single picture to come out with the correct lighting. For these pictures I took 5 shots - one that was normal exposure, one that was 1 stop under exposed, one that was 2 stops under exposed, then two that were 1 and 2 stops over exposed. I then combined them using a program called Photomatix. I also added some tone-mapping to make it more dramatic. Makes for some interesting photos.

I took these around 9:00 at night, and although it was warm, it was pretty quiet on deck. It had been a sea day, so people had been on deck much of the day, so down below having fun I guess :)

WOW Ive been shooting photos for years, with my 2.8 lenses, and never knew:o

 

It definatly brings a little more vibrancy to the shot

I might have to try that on my next cruise

Thanks for posting these

Cool pictures! I love night pictures of the pool decks. Usually they are empty at nighttime also. I just love all the deck lights.

Beautiful! You ought to teach the ship's photographers how to do that.
