Further details
This book is a practical guide to HDR Vertorama photography – a photographic technique that is especially suited for producing impressive indoor photographs that present interiors like no other technique can. It allows you to capture the entire room and present it in a single image that appears to open towards the viewer. The final image consists of a number of individual exposures that are combined in a process called stitching. These individual exposures are called sections. The typical distortion of a Vertorama image creates interesting leading lines drawing the viewer into the scene.
The Anatomy of a HDR Vertorama – Figure from the eBook ‘A Practical Guide to HDR Vertorama Photography’
The dynamic range (difference in brightness between the brightest and the darkest areas of the original scene) of indoor Vertorama images tends to be very high since it depicts large portions of an interior, ranging from very dark regions (e.g. the dark corners in a church) to very bright regions (e.g. around windows). In many cases, this dynamic range cannot be captured with a single exposure setting for all sections. Therefore, each section of a HDR Vertorama image is produced from an exposure series – a series of photos of the same scene at different exposure values. These exposures are merged together into a HDR image that has every area of the scene exposed correctly. So, each section of the stitched Vertorama image will be an HDR image.

I would pay 9.99 for this book but not 19.99.
Hi Dean,
then I have two great news for you:
1. It’s only $19.95 (not $19.99)
2. If you subscribe, it gets even cheaper: $15.95 (that’s 20% off – think about it!)
Do you want to know what that really means? Then check this out!
You only have to find another $5.96 in your wallet. So, you’re only one McDonalds meal away from this book (BigMac: $2.33 + Fries(M): $1.85 + Coke(L): $0.80 + Ice Cream Cone: $1 = $5.98).
Now it’s your choice: Would you rather have another burger this evening, or would you like to improve your photography skills? By the way, burgers, fries, coke, and ice cream are known to be bad for your health.
So, in reality, it’s learning bleeding edge photography techniques vs. more cholesterol and fat in your arteries.
That would be an easy choice for me. What about you, Dean?

Ok, all joking aside:
I understand that you may feel that it’s too expensive for you, and I am sorry to hear that – not because I won’t get your money, but because of the missed opportunity I see. This is a high-quality book with a professional layout and with all the knowledge that I acquired on the topic through my hard work. You won’t find a book on this subject anywhere else. This is original content that will open a new range of photography for you.
That’s why it’s not dirt cheap.
I value you honest feedback, and I still hope that you will find joy and opportunities to improve in my free tutorials.
Cheers
Klaus
Sounds good except I would like to see more image examples etc as I have been doing HDR for many years my self and am looking for more advanced techniques. I did not see any information on what photographer level we are talking about here. Can you provide more info? I mention 9.99 because that’s what i paid for the last e-book about photography I bought.
Thanks for responding.
Hi Dean,
thanks for your response and for letting me know the reason for your previous comment. That’s valuable feedback for me.
This book is definitely great for the advanced photographer. If you already know HDR, then you’re in great shape to build on that and discover this new HDR Vertorama technique in the book. I shall add this info. You’re right!
There are no sample pages yet because the layout of the book is not finished. I will certainly add them once I have them.
This is only the initial announcement and I will add more information in the next weeks. So stay tuned.
Thanks again for your feedback, Dean!
Regards
Klaus
Hello Klaus, And happy shooting year!
I already have subscribe, but I want to benefit from 20 % discount. I think that you deserve to be supported in 100 % in this project and for it I am ready to put the hand in the pocket!
Have to I reregister or I shall take advantage of the discount by being already subscribed?
Thumbs up my HDR mentor
Gaël
Hi Gael,
if you are subscribed you will receive the 20% discount. So, you’re fine.
I appreciate your willingness to support me a lot. Thanks!
Regards,
Klaus
Thank you. looking forward to it.
Your welcome, Dean! And thanks for hanging in here.
Hi Klaus, this is really something that want to try so can’t wait for the eBook! I have already picked up some very useful tips form your site, so I think the price is about right for a specialist topic – the quality looks superb and your results are stunning. Many thanks for sharing your ideas. All the best, Peter
This is a great price for sharing your expertise. Looking forward to it. Also, I enjoy the copyright notice instruction, but still don’t have the hang of it. Perhaps a video tutorial might help some of us along on that. I’m going to dissect your “The Library” and pick up some tips from that, too.
Hi Isaac,
thanks! I will make more ‘normal-speed’ videos in the future. The watermarking tutorial may be one of the first.
If you have a specific question, let me know, and I’ll try to help.
Cheers
Klaus
Klaus,
Thanks for making this eBook. I have been waiting for it a long time. If it is as good as I suspect it will be very under priced.
Hi Murray,
feel free to purchase two copies if it’s underpriced.
Just kidding!
I think it’ll be forth every penny, though. I am putting a lot of effort and everything I know into it. So, stay tuned!
Regards
Klaus
Klaus — when will this ebook be available? I’ve been watching and waiting and am looking forward to owning a copy (I’m a subscriber).
Thanks!

Hi Kathy,
I am sorry for the delay. Right now, I am in the process of moving to a new home with my little family. This makes it a bit difficult to keep the schedule.
The manuscript is finished, and I will be working on it full time again next week. It should be out the first or second week of April. Keep your fingers crossed.
Thanks for your interest and your support.
Cheers
Klaus
I’m there. As soon as it’s available it’s mine. Good instruction material for me because I want to learn that. and with the 20% off bringing it to $15ish is right about in my price range. Keep up the good instruction Klaus!
