Want to improve your photographs? At right is a photo by LatentE," a photograher I found on tabblo.com using a software package from Photomatix.com that really does a nice job of combining a series of photos into one truly great shot.I have to say that I've never been a fan of manipulated photographs, however photograhers have always known that your eye sees much more detail than the camera can ever capture. With LatentE's technique your photo captures a greater range of light and dark that more closely portrays what your eye saw originally.
To do this you have to have a stable shooting platform, preferrably a weighted tripod, so your shots don't vary from each other. Then you find a perfect spot and expose a series of photos using the camera's automatic over/under exposure feature. Finally, you import the shots into photomatix and manipulate the melded image. For instructions on how it works and to see other great shots from LatentE, go here.
