HDR Panorama: St John's Hampstead


High Dynamic Range panoramas should, in our view, be a first stop for any visualization of architecture, planning or design projects. They are quick to capture and provide a useful context for off site meetings or online communication of design. In addition they can be used as the basis for 3D modeling, complete with realistic lighting via the HDR capture.

The image above is of St John's Church in Hampstead - a Grade I listed building and has stood on the site since 1823 in an architectural style more reminiscent of New England than London churches of its time.

Click 'Load' and drag to look around, select 'Open' to view full screen.

The St John's website notes that:

'As a proprietary chapel, St John's is recognised as a church within the London Diocese of the Church of England but has complete independence in financial matters. It receives no support from and makes no contribution to Diocesan Funds. It is entirely self supporting and all costs, including staff and building costs, are borne by the congregation which has owned the building since 2003 when they bought it from the family trust which had owned it and leased it to them since the First World War'.

You can view a higher resolution version of the panorama via our Flickr Group.

HDR New York at Night

The image above grabbed our attention while searching for HDR City Images. Taken using 3 exposures which are then subsequently merged using Photomatix the photo by Paulo Barcello's is one of the best we have seen.

HDR is an interesting technique and one that we have been promising to do a tutorial on for a while. The weather in London is improving and with the booklet complete (more on that and availability/pricing next week after the new print run) we are ready to go and capture some shots for a 'how to'...

It is well worth visting Paulo's Flickr page to see the full size version of New York at Night.

HDR City Photographs: Tokyo


After our posts on HDR photographs of New York a quick update to point those interested to images of Toyko captured using the same technique...

See 10 Pictures of Tokyo Gotham using HDR.

A tutorial and sample files will follow as soon as the weather in London allows - it could be months ;)

HDR City Photographs

Our plans to capture High Dynamic Range (HDR) images in Hong Kong were put to rest due to mist and London seems to of been lost in drizzle for months. As soon as we get the right conditions a full tutorial will appear on the blog as its part of the forthcoming book.

In the meantime Stuck in Customs - unique photography for unique people have some stunning HDR images of New York.

It is well worth taking a look at the full set of photographs via the main Stuck in Customs page.
