new interiors
Sunday, June 22, 2008 at 11:04PM Until the day I can afford my own medium format system (30,000+ for any of you looking at birthday gifts for me this year; belated or otherwise) I am finding some consolation in shooting my interiors shots using HDR techniques. The subtle control, fine detail and crisp appearance of these images remind of the detail I could obtain with a medium format system. Not that I'm saying it's equal mind you, but coming from a pure 35mm perspective as I do, I have to admit I'm inching my way closer to where I want to be. All three imgages were shot with my Nikon D300 and comprise of at least 5 images. Hmmmm, perhaps in the future I'll shoot the same scene with a flash to show the true and remarkable difference of shooting HDR.
p.s. I think you'll notice the almost painterly or moody-illustration like appearance of each image below. My personal excitement of shooting HDR, is I can finally give the viewer the essence of how a room looked and felt at the time of day I shot it. When you view these images, notice the blue tones of natural window light mixing with the yellow/red tones of lamp light. Shadows appear more defined and the whole area has a mood which helps evoke an emotion one would receive when enter the room in person.

I like these a lot- the feel to me is more artistic than a "realistic" shot... very nice
I agree. And to me, the rooms looked like that when I shot them. I'm just finally able to capture the subtle light and shadow play. truly awesome!
I'm rather surprised at the older computer in the office :-) super cool pics though. the wooden interior of the office is nice.
Awesome stuff TJ. The tub one almost looks like you could walk right in and start taking a nice soak.
