My wife loves gardening and indoor plants. Not only does the small conservatory has a good selection of plants, the patio doors that lead from the lounge into the conservatory are festooned with plants. I thought they would make a good, if somewhat challenging, photograph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not so easy as it sounds: the main issues being what view to use and coping with the extreme changes in brightness from the relatively dark lounge to the bright conservatory and bright sky outside. First I tackled the view – these are 3 different viewpoints:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
First view: Closer to the conservatory with limited view inside the lounge. One mistake is the reading lamp visible on the right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A more complete view showing all of the end wall and more of the furniture – this is my favourite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This view shows more of the furniture but doesn’t add anything to the previous view apart from, perhaps, the light and ceiling rose.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The above 3 photos were processed from the ‘raw’ file but the exposure range was to great for the sky to show. As I mostly photograph using the ‘AEB’ setting to take 3 different exposures together, I used HDR software to combine the 3 exposures of the 2nd image above to give this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
HDR version of the second image which now shows detail in the sky – this wasn’t quite right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I decided to combine the HDR version with the standard version which gave this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Colours and contrast, I feel, are better controlled and i have gained the detail in the sky. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I need to do some more experiments but this is a reasonable start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
