Handheld HDR photo of moving subjects

HDR photo of the morning at the cabin

The cabin, first thing in the morning.  It was still cold enough that there was snow on the ground, but the enthusiasm of youth means there is no time to put on clothes before venturing outside.

I took this photo only four hours ago.  It was not set up.  When I saw this scene, I grabbed my camera and started enthusiastically hammering off frames like a man possessed.  Well, lets face it, I am.

This is a handheld HDR photo that was made with three frames spaced at 2 EV increments.  The three photos were taken in RAW, and were processed with Photomatix Pro software.  I then imported the finished photo into Photoshop where I added saturation, and also masked out the face of the subject and the dog.  HDR usually muddies up a person’s face, so in this image the subject’s face is clear and reflects only one image.  The face is not HDR.

    I love the rustic background and the intense look of your subject. I’m left wondering what he was playing…? Well done!

    I really like the way you talk about the process of your photos. As a newcomer to HDR photography, it’s helpful to see the results and read the stories behind the photos. Thanks for the clear explanations!
