OBJECTIVES:
STUDENTS WILL UNDERSTAND AND USE EXPOSURE COMPENSATION ON THEIR CAMERAS.
STUDENTS WILL UNDERSTAND AND CREATE A HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE PHOTOGRAPH USING ADOBE PHOTOSHOP.
WHAT IS HDR?
High Dynamic Range, or HDR, is a digital photography technique whereby multiple exposures of the same scene are layered and merged using image editing software to create a more realistic image, or a dramatic effect. The combined exposures can display a wider range of tonal values than what the digital camera is capable of recording in a single image.
In the image below, you can see how 3 exposures where taken of the same scene (one underexposure, one normal exposure, and one overexposure) and then merged into one image. The final HDR image takes the best or most detailed part from each picture so that the final image has the greatest range of value and the most detail possible.

ASSIGNMENT: CREATE 3 HDR IMAGES.
For each HDR photograph you create, you will need to take 3 exposures of the same scene/subject. One underexposed, correctly exposed and one overexposed image. You will then combine your images using Adobe Photoshop.

STEP 2: PUTTING IT TOGETHER IN PHOTOSHOP
SAVING YOUR IMAGE TWICE!
FIRST TIME- SAVE IT AS A PHOTOSHOP DOCUMENT (PSD) INCASE YOU NEED TO CONTINUE EDITING IT
SECOND TIME- SAVE IT AS A .JPEG WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED TO UPLOAD TO EDMODO/THE INTERNET
extension>play around with the HDR toning setting in photoshop
In your menu bar, go to "image" then "Adjustments" and then "HDR Toning..."
Try out some different preset settings by clicking on the drop-down box next to "Presets"
