Who?

Tim ClarkeHe is a photographer who specialises in HDR photography and macro HDR photography. He takes photographs of architecture, concrete and wood and still life and macro. He has been photographer since the 80’s.

How HDR WorksHigh-dynamic-range photographs are generally achieved by capturing multiple standard photographs, often using exposure bracketing, and then merging them into a HDR image.

Why?

I have chosen to research and recreate Tim Clarkes photographs because his work highlights features that you wouldn’t see in a normal photograph it also adds a different theme to the photograph.

ExamplesVisible minor detail.

My Attempts at HDRI added all of the photos surrounding the centre together to form the middle photo.

HDR photography highlights details and textures with in the photograph

It generates dark shadows on the bricks and clouds.

I believe the composition is good because the leading lines are directed to a vanishing point

There is balance in the photo because the colour of the door cancels the colour of the sky

My Attempts at HDRIn this example I took more photos on different settings. Thus adding more detail.

The main focus in this photo is the detail of the wood.

The colour of the shelter balances the colour of the sky.

Recreating Similar shadows on clock face.

Similar features of the clock.

Recreating I needed a macro lens to create the same pictures.

Similar colours with the original photo.

With both of the recreation photos I am using a 50mm lens but really I need to use a macro lens to get closer to the object which is my subject.
