HDR – High Dynamic Range Photography From Terence Chang

Don’t Let Go

Don’t Let Go! Well. We really don’t want to leave the heaven where there is beach for only two of us, but we also don’t want to be left behind. 🙂 We will definitely come back to Cozumel Mexico.

I like this photo because of the combination of blue, white and orange colors. I turn that into HRD and removed some minor objects in the background. Sometimes, taking several bracket shots without tripod is just hard. The ship is actually moving up and down. Glad that Photomatix Pro has the features to align the images and remove the ghost area.

OK. Here is the YouTube Video Clip of official Dont’ Let Go music. I know it’s nothing related to what I were doing, but I like the music and share it anyway. So Enjoy!

Leaving the Heaven Behind

Finally, there is no more white sand beach for Two at Cozumel Beach! If you’ve never been to Heaven. You can see it here, here, here and here. This photo was taken when we were ready to lave the heaven behind us at Cozumel Port. We will be heading to the next stop at Belize on our Caribbean Cruise trip.

I highly recommend you to visit Cozumel at least once in your lifetime. It’s one of the best vacation I’ve ever had.

I took 3 bracket shots and convert it to HDR image. Not very impressive, isn’t it?

Heaven For Two Of Us At Cozumel Beach

OK. OK. I promise there is no more Cozumel Beach For Two photos (See 1, 2, 3). Cozumel Beach is really a heaven for two of us. This is also the last HDR image I processed for Cozumel Beach. It’s the heaven when there is no one else on the beach. I wished I had full day to spend on the beach, so I can see the sunset. This image is so far the best HDR image I produced and liked. I know I can do much better job in the future. I have to admit that processing HDR image that has only few simple color is hard. You either end up with too much noise or too much shade.

Beach For Two – 3

As promised, I am posting new Cozumel Beach photos to proof that how enjoyable the beach is for just Two of Us. See Beach For Two 1 and Beach For Two 2. I specifically like the weather in early May. This is the first stop of our Caribbean Cruise Trip in early 2011. This is also a HDR image processed using 3 bracketed photos. I really like it.

Beach For Two – 2

I promised you two days ago that you will see more beach for two photo on Cozumel Beach in Mexico. This photo is also processed into HDR image to show more detail in the cloud. I have to admit that I am still not a master of Photomatix Pro. The image is still too BLUE. I hope there is a ways to partially process just the cloud. Maybe some HDR experts who see this image can give me some hints.

Regardless, I am never tired of posting blue sky and white sand beach photos. There are more to come. 🙂

Baywatch On The White Sand Beach

Again, this is the another HDR image on Cozumel Beach in Mexico, where we were the only two visitors on the white sand beach. Well. There is no need to have life guard stand by. You bet! There will be more beach photos coming your ways in the next few days. 🙂

Beach For Two

Isn’t it nice when you visit the a beach where there is only two of you? It did happen when we visited Cozumel Beach in Mexico. In that 100 yard beach area, there is only two of us. We really enjoy the view, blue sky, blue ocean and nice white sand. This is also one of my HDR beach images.

HDR Over Staturated Twin Ship

Well. These are the twin ship of Carnival Legend and Carnival Glory at Cozumel MX. My wife and I took Caribbean Cruise Vacation. This photo were process with 3 exposure in HDR. Now I don’t like it so much any more. I call it over-saturated HDR. Like the previous HDR image – HDR Cozumel Beach, it’s not perfectly processed. I am still learning the best of the Photomatx Pro.
