Editorial Reviews: Product Description Complete Guide to HDR Digital Photography Ferrell's new book is about the new and exciting techniques in HDR photography. Learn how to get started with HDR and progress into expert status with this excellent how to manual loaded with more pictures than pages making it an excellent coffee table book as well. Learn the latest technique in HDR that Ferrell has pioneered and calls Flash Merging. It's the hottest and latest technique made possible only through digital. High Dynamic Range Photography is the process of taking several pictures of a scene at various exposures, then merging them into one file. So the entire photo can look crisp and detailed, from highlights to midtones to shadows, and photographers needen't sacrifice any part of their image. And the best way to master this exciting technology is with this thorough, easy-to-follow, and visually spectacular guide. No other title does justice to these cutting-edge techniques, which actually take the viewer into worlds far beyond normal photography - sometimes even beyond normal human perception. Ferrell McCollough, a widely respected photographer, pushes the boundaries and inspires others to pursue their artistic vision, too. The amazing results simply can't be achieved any other way

Customer Reviews: Read 12 more reviews... All the reviews are correct November 18, 2008 Peter R. Dinella (North Granby, CT) I read all the reviews after I read McCollough's book. All the five-star reviews are right on target. I especially liked all the photos he included that show before and after comparisons. His analysis of the different software packages is very helpful. On the other hand, all the other HDR books got rave reviews, so it seems you can't make a mistake buying any of them. One downside for some: McCollough does not litter his narrative with sophomoric,distacting,and irrelevant jokes like some other writers. He sticks to the subject at hand and does not quote sappy lyrics from aged rock stars! That makes this book a quick read. Very practical, very useful November 16, 2008 Gordon S. Buck (Baton Rouge, LA) I'm finding this book easy and pleasant to read and also very useful. My first HDR effort since getting the book is posted in my blog at [...] In particular, the book has pointed me towards post processing of HDR tone mapped images or even combining various tone mapped images to get the effects that I want. An entirely new dimension to photography November 16, 2008 Bo �stergaard Jepsen (Beijing, China) For a long time, I was quite oblivious to the possibilities of High Dynamic Range photography. It was just one of many new digital 'things' in the world of photography. But after seeing a series of HDR shots of French church interiours, I had to learn more about this fascinating technique. Initially, I read a number of articles off of the web and studied discussions in different forums, but decided to get a book dedicated to the subject. I got this one, and I am very happy with it. The text is well written and easily understood. It's neither too technical in nature, nor too simple. The author describes how an image is captured in your camera, how noise is brought about, what limitations there are to different types of camera, and what difference there are between different lighting situations. All in all, everything needed to judge when and how HDR imaging is helpful in any given situation. He goes on to tell about the image capturing process, conversion, and post-processing. He also tells about the use of some special techniques, like single photo HDR and merging of flash photos. The difference between a number of proprietary HDR software is also explained, letting the reader decide which he or she prefers. All the way throughout, the author makes good use of beautiful photographs to illustrate his points, and show the effect of HDR processing. There are also examples of other HDR artits' work in the book. These images are not for teaching purposes, but rather serves as inspiration for the reader, showing the possibilities and uses of HDR photography. The advice given in this volume, is fairly straightforward and easy to follow. You'll be out there making your own HDR images soon after reading. I initially thought HDR images a bit too well exposed, a bit too natural, a bit too 'good', if you know what I mean. They seemed unnaturally good. Now I see that they are in fact capable of rendering a much more realistic depiction of reality than normal photography. HDR is a great tool for any photographer to have in his technical arsenal, simply for tricky exposure situations or for out and out art photography. It is much simpler (and much more available) than difficult lighting rigs and multiple flash units going off at once. I was indeed very pleased with this book, and will definitely recommend it to others. just did my first HDR Pic. WOW! November 9, 2008 Fabian Mach (San Rafael, CA United States) This book is a very good introduction to HDR Photography. Easy to understand and informative. The Best Book I Read This Year September 8, 2008 Don Diego (US Virgin Islands) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful I will recommend this book to any person interested on the subject. The best book I read this year inspirational and motivational reading. The author is a gifted teacher. I'll give it six stars.
