Summer Is Finally Here – HDR Photography

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 12:15:51 +0000

Summer is finally here and it’s about time! The time of year we’ve all been desperately waiting for – summer fun, friends, family and good times! WebTips Magazine is all about that and we’ve called on our friends from Flickr once more to provide a little inspiration for us and in some cases reflection.

My personal favorite is the beer and the glasses – but maybe I’m just bias?

Have a gander and tell us which one is your favorite or you can even send us some of your favorites to include in this post.

How Will You Spend Your Vacation – HDR Photography

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 14:00:53 +0000

As the summer holidays are approaching, most people will be sitting down to plan how they want to spend their vacation time. Web Tips Magazine has come up with some of the top vacation past times. Would you like to go on a cruise, take the fishing boat out, get out that classic car and dust her off, or even to the extreme – to travel to Europe and see some of our World’s History. Of course there is always the typical taking the family to Disney, and the not-so-typical ones, like getting out your telescope and seeing how far it will reach. What ever you might decide to do, we hope that these visual aids will give you some ideas – provided by some very talented photographers from Flickr.

Bridge the Gap – HDR Photography

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:01:46 +0000

When you think of the word “Designer”, you typically think of what? Web, print, art or maybe even fashion? But do you ever think of bridges? Think about it. Someone had to design the plans to come up with the general structure of the bridge that would be functional, safe and durable to withstand all seasons. But the beauty of designing the bridge is not generally in it’s functionality, but the visually stunning personality that brings the bridge to life.

Building a bridge from blueprints to the exact object could be a lot like building a website. You want it to make people go “OH WOW” when they see it. It needs to age well – you can’t go building new bridges every other month and you certainly wouldn’t want to do that with your site. But of course, most importantly – it needs to have user functionality – to provide the user with that of which they seek – in the sense of a bridge…it’s to get to the other side.

To regular people, like most of us using the bridges, they are simply just that – just a bridge, a thing that gets us from one place to another. To bridge the gap.

To some creative communities they are seen as forms of art – let’s take a look at some appealing creations of Art now from our friends – Flickr.

From the City to the Mountains HDR

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:05:50 +0000

As the season is changing so are our surroundings. Spring is coming, birds are chirping, and yes way off in the distance we are actually starting to see some green patches.

There are all different types of landscapes. Which one inspires you the most?

Maybe your a city person and love to gaze at the city lights flickering at night. Or maybe the way the city comes to life at the break of dawn?

Do you prefer more of the country setting? Watching wild life as they graze in the meadows. Or more likely as they duck out in front of your car and cause you to swerve and panic! :)

Then there’s the sea life. The way the water sounds as it crashes up on to the beach or if your lucky enough to have a boat? The way the sunset seem to go on for miles and miles?

Let’s not forget about the picturesque scenery of the mountains? The still motionless exile. Just you and the breeze. The mountain is just 1 step away from walking in the clouds.

So why not join Web Tips Magazine as we travel the world from the City to the Mountains with beautiful HDR photography from Flickr Creative Commons.

City of Sin Las Vegas HDR

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:52:00 +0000

Las Vegas, Nevada – the lights, the sounds, the people. What a place! Vegas isn’t just about the hopes of going and coming home a winner though. We just came back from Vegas and it was my very first trip. Since I was too busy loosing money, I didn’t get to capture the essence that is the ‘City of Sin’. So I searched Flickr and found some awesome HDR images. Some of the images you will see can inspire you to keep going back for more.

Let’s explore Vegas through some of the amazing images created for us in HDR by people from across the world.

With most of us across the country snowed in and just about snowed out, we hope that Mother Nature is taking a long sleep as she’s been a very busy lady lately.

To follow through with nature’s mood, let’s take a glance at some astonishing HDR images of nature at it’s finest (or worst as the case may be) from the Creative Commons area at Flickr.

25 Awesome HDR Images and Tuts

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:50:57 +0000

You know Flickr never stops to amaze me. The quality of photography on the wildly popular website is simply awesome, and puts some of the so-called photography stock image sites to shame. In recent times the popularity of HDR images has been fueled, in part, by the staggering number of photographers contributing their latest works to the site.

So what exactly are HDR photographs and images? Wikipedia probably explains it best:

High-dynamic-range photographs are generally achieved by capturing multiple standard photographs, often using exposure bracketing, and then merging them into an HDR image. Digital photographs are often encoded in a camera’s raw image format, because 8 bit JPEG encoding clips the camera’s possible dynamic range (and also introduces undesirable effects due to the lossy compression).

We find these images so amazing, and inspiring, we wanted to share in a regular feature some simply stunning images from around Flickr’s creative commons area and offer some links to popular tutorials and information with regard to this unique process. Let’s get started -
