 |  |  |  | Bracket and blends, Round 2
< on 3/19/2010 10:01 PM >
|  | | | Okay, I got to go to a house up the street from me to practice more bracketing, and I have 4 shots I need opinions on. They are all 2 exposure blends, with the first 2 being a more mild 1 EB step between exposures. The rest are 2 steps per Exposure.
Here's the mild one, just wanted to bring back some detail from the broken glass and plywood.
The next one is of the doors to that room. White paint on walls and door with darkness beyond. More difficult.
Now for the more dramatic pieces. These are the more technical ones.
Thoughts please!

| | | | Tecnically, they look great. Only thing is, I'm a sucker for a bit of overexposure, personally, so I wouldn't necessarily rush off and bracket just because blown out windows seem evil on principle.

| | | | I like them all, i cant really see anything I dont like about the post production, or anything.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. |

| | | | It seems to me that you know how to use the technique properly and where it would be utilized, however the shots are not interesting and suffer from poor composition. Just my 2 cents.
If I was really created in God’s image then when God was a boy he wanted to grow up to be a man, a good man, and when God was a man, a good man, he started telling the truth in order to get honest responses. |

composition aside i don't think any of these needed to be bracketed except maybe the last one

| | | | In all but the last it's hard to say whether you really did anything of note. It would be nice to see the range of brackets (-whatever to +whatever) so we could see what you're working with a bit better but it doesn't look like anything but the last necessarily benefited in any way from the process.
That aside, as mentioned none of these images are real attention grabbers.

If he's talking about the first shot in the last set, I know it's blown out: it was developed to catch the detail of the room. The blow out was intentional!

I know they aren't interesting, I wasn't trying for art here. I was just going to a local place for some frames to practice blending with, despite boring subject matter. When I'm comfortable with the technique, then I'll start setting up shots in future sets.

| | | | Pretty good, but I'd still work on nailing those architectural straight lines before pouring time into post-processing the images. A nicely bracketed window is immediately undone by the distracting crooked lines of a camera pointed too high.

Got it. I have a picture I bracketed back in November, I'll get to work on that right now.
