So, obviously, we need to do a little bit of work with this material before we go too far. More than 100 megabytes of data per frame, before we've processed. These came as RAW files off of an Olympus OMD-EM1, which I really like for HDR shooting. We're dealing here with each file being about 15 megabytes. This is a very cool technique, but, let's be honest here, I have a lot of data. With 12 stops of information, this is a lot of data, and it's going to be able to show the darkest dark to the brightest highlight. So, essentially, I have 12 stops of dynamic range here, to work with. And, as we go through, pretty straightforward there, adjusting the exposure compensation. Six stops lower here, pulling that down to 7.7, underexposed. I was shooting slightly underexposed with exposure compensation here, to deal with the backlit subject. Now, in this particular case, it looks like there's seven exposures in the brackets, so I'll adjust the width of the grid and, sure enough, that's what I have. One of the benefits of looking at a grid is it's easier to see how things break down. Now, one of the things I find more useful is view these in a grid-type view. And, if we take a look here at the source images, I pulled together a small subset here. It's a good idea to do that processing ahead of time, and you can use your Finder, or Bridge, or Lightroom, or, really, anything to do that. One of the things I have here is, I've already organized my images. So, let's jump in and start to explore that app. And, I've got a full, comprehensive HDRsoft Photomatix title, here, on that you could explore to go really deep into the software, but I want to show you some of the essential skills to develop the HDR image, particularly when it comes to batch processing and developing time-lapse images. One of my favorite tools, though, that I find myself using more and more is Photomatix Pro from HDRsoft. Or, you could use the built-in toning inside of Photoshop, as well. You could take a look at HDR Efex from the folks at Nik Software, which is now owned by Google.

And, this generally involves using a dedicated software tool or a plug-in for your favorite image editor. When it comes to HDR time-lapse, one of the first things you need to do is create the high-dynamic-range images.
