It would be great a plugin for video editors to convert videos to hdr effect, does it exist?

It would imply you can take 3 or more 100% identical videos which is not easy to do without the right equipment I guess So you cannot shoot moving objects without having to deal with difficulties.

To my knowledge, it doesn't exist, and there are only a few post production houses who achieved such a result, but it involved using several cameras, and there were a lot of pos prod work to make it possible !

How many pics do you use for HDR guys? I usually -2, 0, +2.
Any tip to get better results?

This what I do too. It's the only options I have for automatic bracketing...well...I mean, only 3 shots. I WISH I could set it up for at least 5 shots, but I can only do that manually...and don't usually want to bother with it. Especially since most of my HDR's are handheld (too lazy to carry a tripod around with me most times!).

Well, you can do HDR with just one picture creating 3 files with diferent fake exposure arrangement in photoshop. And there are several plugins that do some kind of HDRSim. So Probably you can redner the frames of a video with such plugins.

single RAW, sometimes 2 if there is a lot of dynamic range

Jevil, check out this guy's HDR tutorials. He does amazing work, and I've changed my HDR work flow after reading through his stuff (using Photoshop to align the images instead of Photomatix, for example): http://blamethemonkey.com/

I've been wandering around my neighbourhood trying to find abandoned places and other interesting locations. I don't know anything about photography, but here's some pics:

...and here's some shots from the Roger Waters gig for all you tech nerds:

Here's some photos I've snapped so far this year:

(Funny story behind this one. Didn't sleep for 24 hours and later I was out partying, didn't sleep that night either (was awake for 50+ hours or so).
And as I was getting a ride home it was such a beautiful morning, that when I got home I forced my friend into going out and take som photos (he was having such a hangover).
So there we were in the middle of the woods, he standing behind me and throwing up as was running around all hyper, taking photos. Fun times. )
tl;dr - lack of sleep + alcohol makes you crazy.

^^Incredible work. I can't even pick a favorite. Do you have a Flickr account?

Thanks man!
I don't, maybe I should get one,
Been lacking interest in photgraphy recently so I don't have that many photos, trying to get back on it though.

ronixsix & gubbkuk : REAL good pics!!!

Do it!! (getting flickr & getting back into photography) Sometimes you just have to force yourself to keep shooting, and eventually it will rekindle that spark. I sometimes do like Gavin Hoey's 15 minute challenge, I'll go out to one place, and limit myself to 1 lens and a short amount of time, and see what pictures I can take. Anything just to keep shooting so you don't get out of the habit.

 

[grywolf627]

Ronxis...nice stuff. I like industrial grunge stuff too.

 

[arv_foh]

I'm gonna attempt to do a 365 project starting on may 1st. We'll see if I can keep up with it.

GubkbKuk: Last one is phenomenal!

arv: whats a 365 project? Haven't heard of it before... Is something like clicking a great shot every day of the year?
