An interesting photo with a flower. But very hard HDR. If 2-3 times less than this effect, the photo would be even better.
There is a function. It's called HDR.
In the photo with the flower, pay attention to the trees outside the window and the sky behind them. You see, the trees are cut. Looks like a rough collage. And the naturalness of the picture is lost.
This is how HDR works so crudely.
In similar shooting conditions, take two shots.
With HDR on and then exactly the same but with HDR off
I, in turn, when digital cameras appeared, was wildly delighted with this technology.
It was necessary to shoot three frames on a tripod with an exposure step of -2, then 0, and then +2 ev
Next, in Photoshop, carefully combine and erase the shadows, placing a +2ev image under the erased holes, and taking the light areas from the -2ev image.
Difficult.
But it turned out to be a very unusual picture.
I got so carried away that when I already achieved a complete study of all the details, even at night. I realized that I just exposed the composition. Showed everything. The volume disappeared, the contrast disappeared, the magic of the black and white pattern disappeared.
Then I was thrilled that no one could take a picture like that, but I could.
Further, when I got used to it, I began to reduce this effect. To leave artistic content.
Try taking two shots. Compare. Expand your view of the same scene.
I know from my own experience that when they tell you, it doesn’t fit well on the soul and affects the experience. To understand and feel, you need to shoot your story technically in different ways. Only then will the true understanding come at the level of feeling, perception and shade.
Then there will be a choice in the palette of displaying one event from such an edge with which you feel.
The photos are wonderful!
