I’ve mentioned my new camera a couple of times<\/a> – it’s the Panasonic Lumix TZ9, with a nice high ISO range (for a small camera) that’s great for indoor pix at gigs.<\/p>\n

One other feature it has is the ability to take bracketed images so you can generate HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. I’ve always wanted a go at that, and I’d planned to get a decent dSLR at some point so I could experiment further.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s not beat about the bush here. Proper dSLRs have dynamic range settings from 3eV upwards, and that allows for some stunning images. The TZ9 only has a 1eV range, and at \u00a3150 it is hardly trying to compete with the big boys.<\/p>\n

One thing I have discovered is that you definitely need to use a tripod, as the three individual photos are taken over about 1.5 seconds. While I was out his evening I stole a quick chance to get some pictures when I noticed the sun behind a pupil’s neighbour’s house.\"The<\/p>\n

 These are three bracketed images taken at +1eV, 0eV, and -1eV. I took these at ISO 400, f\/6.3, and 1\/30 sec exposure. The sun was partially obscured by clouds just to the right of that house on the right – I was trying to get a situation where you’d normally get under-exposure in the foreground, or over-exposure of the background.<\/p>\n

This is the HDR image I produced from these:\"HDR<\/p>\n

 This is just a first try, but I was impressed by the detail of the foreground and those trees in the background, as well as on the house brickwork – even though the sun is just over there.<\/p>\n

I need to play with this some more when I get a chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
