This was the first picture where I tried using the High
Dynamic Range (HDR) technique on a single photograph. Normally HDR is used to
increase tonal range by combining several photographs that are identical except
for bracketed exposures. However, this is hard to do with moving subjects such
as people in a busy street but it is possible to do a pseudo-HDR like this one if
the photo is in RAW format.
It produces a very distinctive look that is easily over-done
but I love the way it increases local contrast to bring out detail throughout
the image. It has the great benefit of often being able to make an ordinary
picture look more interesting.
Photograph taken at “Saturday Walking Street”, Chiang Mai,
Thailand
