I really enjoyed my first Aurora HDR 2018 experience and I am looking forward to experiencing more sports stuff. I know I still don’t have much experience in this new environment but I also wanted to be the living proof that you can have great results with little to no knowledge of the software. Aurora HDR’s interface is very user-friendly and allows an intuitive workflow: filters, masks, sliders, brushes, presets, all the tools we are used to using in our regular editing work. I often find myself in a low light situation – you know how gyms are! It is interesting to see how Aurora brings up details in the shadows (in this case the athlete’s face) while adding structure to the picture. Usually, this kind of work doesn’t call for HDR but since I love trying new stuff, why not go for it with Aurora?! (Perhaps the photography police will wait for me around the corner but hey, you only live once!) I was curious to see how I could make Aurora work for my sports photography. I have to be honest with you guys, landscapes are not really my cup of tea. (Maybe the most discerning of you will recognize Photofocus Author Jason Hahn posing unwittingly for the camera. As you can see by the pictures below, I have been blown away by the results! Aurora brings out colors and details in a fantastic way, even from a single frame. Since I wasn’t in the best situation, I was curious to see how I could pull the most out of my sensor’s dynamic range. I had an issue at the location: I forgot my tripod! That meant bye-bye to the standard three-or-more-exposures-merged-to-HDR technique and hello handheld camera. The sunrise was amazing and so was the scenery. I was pretty excited to edit some of the pictures we’d taken in Vegas last week. What does it do? How do I feel working in this brand new environment? Here are the thoughts on my hands-on with my first Aurora HDR 2018 experience!
I just got a new software that I couldn’t wait to try it with different shots.
