HDR Before-and-After
Usually, you only see the finished image when somebody publishes their HDR work, and when you look at such an image, you tend to wonder what the original photos looked like and what the HDR process and the photographer’s personal post-processing skills really brought to this very image. Some time ago, I decided to add a little spice to the soup and also publish the source images and the intermediate result after the tone-mapping for each of my HDR images.
The result is the growing series of illustrations below that I call Before-and-After Comparisons. Just click on one of the posts below to open it and view a bigger version.
