[REQ] HDR Photographs

Is there anyway we can do what apples doing with their camera to take HDR photographs, the only the reason i cant see this happening is capture speed. basically it takes 3 photographs; one underexposed, one taken with normal exposure and then another with overexposure. then finally puts them all to one photo. I think this could be done on our phones. Unfortunately i don't have the coding skills to do this. otherwise i would work on it. I hope other people will think this is a good feature.

try camera 360

yep, camera 360
and it does it nicely
welcome to the game apple

Pretty much any time Apple announces a new feature, if you aren't already using it or know it is in the base Android, just search the market for it. It will already have been done.

Vignette also has a pseudo HDR mode

camera 360 market link

Thanks guys, I'll check out camera 360

just tried camera 360 - great app, but the HDR is simulated, I wonder if anyone has done a real HDR app that actually takes multiple shots?

Doubtful, as taking three shots would have to be VERY fast as the spatial location of the camera could not move between them or there would be artifacts introduced into the image from movement (phone or subject).
Highly Distorted Reality is silliness anyway, what is it you're really looking for? Pull out shadows? This is a phone, not a real camera...

it would be nice be native on Android camera app.. or probably CM

That is exactly why it's simulated on the android app, as scote noted above
It just would not be feasible with the camera we have.

LMAO, you've got the right idea of what HDR is khaytsus, but I think you got a little confused?
High dynamic range imaging
Here is a photo group on FLICKR for you all to aaww and marvel at
A friend of mine does HDRI photography, and other cool effects.

Are crApple's cameras really that much faster/better than our cameras that they can do it? I doubt that.

i imagine its simulated as well, or it takes 3 images and crops it and pieces it together the same way the d2 does with the panoramic mode.

No necessarily.
But I'm sure they have better development.

No, I know exactly what HDR is.

Could it be that the HDR shots are a lower resolution?
they could effectively be doing something like "progressive scan":
sensor line 1 takes an overexposed image
sensor line 2 take a medium exposed image
sensor line 3 takes an underexposed image
sensor line 4 takes an overexposed image
sensor line 5 take a medium exposed image
sensor line 6 takes an underexposed image
etc

Nope. Sorry, I didn't specify.
He is a young semi-pro enthusiast.
Several Canon SLRs, a book, and a gig or two every now and then.

Ha, sorry, I took this "Highly Distorted Reality" as your definition.

Point was, linking to pictures that people make with Adobe products throws an unrealistic expectation of an example of what a mobile device can do. Even though you listed those as examples, some people would be confused by true post production vs. a quick picture filter.

Niko P300 Vs Lumix TZ20

Im looking for a point and shoot camera for travelling to Australia. I do want it to be able to take videos but its not that important. I have had my eye on the P300 since Christmas and its dropped £20 now.
The TX20 just popped up and looks good too, but some reviews are a little harsh.
What would you say is best for travelling? Or Just a better camera as a whole?
Thanks Nathan

I have a Lumix ZR3, great camera.

Thanks Travis, i will look at that Lumix aswell..

after somee googling i found this http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-P300-vs-Panasonic-TZ20
its a full review-comparison. it will help you decide
personally i'd take the p300. an aperture of f/1.8 is really hard to find in a compact... and very useful in low light conditions.. plus the manual settings

Nice one Dexter. Some great info in that review. I think i will choose the Nikon after all. Off too find the best price now Cheers..

Adobe Photo Expreess. The red filter which just emphasises red. Then defog photo slightly. If you go to first post of mine there’s a link to a post on low light and you can see unedited version as well.

New update for Unlocked V40 - V11b

Unlocked variant of the V40 has a new update today. Includes the November security patch along with other usability and functionality improvements.
I also managed to take a few before and after shots to see how the camera performs/changed. Looks like they made some changes to the HDR intensity and improved the quality of the telephoto. The HDR is an animated GIF showing the contrast between the two. The telephoto is a side-by-side. I had to drop the save quality of that image down to post but you can see the difference in quality when looking at the tree branch in the middle and the houses behind it.

Oh man.. Thanks.. I can't appreciate enough. . Technically HDR10+ uses something called PQ which is superior to HLG used by Iphone 12 series. There are enough iphone 12 HDR video on the internet. People have tested it left & right but the same enthusiasm was not there when sammy announced HDR Recording two years ago. So I'm really curious.. Thanks a TONNN man..

The video graded beautifully. I dropped a balackmagic res 709 Lut on it . It's really good as the source image is flat . So you have more room to play with colors and contrast.

did you noticed difference between S21 and S20 ultra?
i just shoot quicly as it was freezing i you want 'ill provide you better video next time

They were very similar . Thanks a lot man. A static video of people in bright environment would be great. So that I can check the skintone. Lot of people are underestimating s21 video capabilities over iphone. This is not true. S21 also takes great video with good HDR.

ok, i just share a new video for you, please check
