Product Description
Complete Guide to HDR Digital Photography Ferrell's new book is about the new and exciting techniques in HDR photography. Learn how to get started with HDR and progress into expert status with this excellent how to manual loaded with more pictures than pages making it an excellent coffee table book as well. Learn the latest technique in HDR that Ferrell has pioneered and calls Flash Merging. It's the hottest and latest technique made possible only through digital. High Dynamic Range Photography is the process of taking several pictures of a scene at various exposures, then merging them into one file. So the entire photo can look crisp and detailed, from highlights to midtones to shadows, and photographers needen't sacrifice any part of their image. And the best way to master this exciting technology is with this thorough, easy-to-follow, and visually spectacular guide. No other title does justice to these cutting-edge techniques, which actually take the viewer into worlds far beyond normal photography - sometimes even beyond normal human perception. Ferrell McCollough, a widely respected photographer, pushes the boundaries and inspires others to pursue their artistic vision, too. The amazing results simply can't be achieved any other way

While I like this book and found it useful as someone new to HDR, in retrospect I would advise against buying this book or any HDR-specific title. The reason is that there simply isn't that much to HDR itself to warrant an entire book. HDR is more properly the subject of a book chapter IMO, although no doubt there are those who would disagree. What I got out of this book is mainly an understanding of the various software tools available for HDR processing as well as an understanding of the general HDR workflow, all of which I suspect I could have gained with minimal effort directly from web sources.
Learning HDR Photography February 22, 2010
Stanley Sims (Nashville, TN)
I purchased this particular book to learn how to do HDR photography. I have been very satisfied with the explanations and in general the whole make up of this book.
It is very easy to read, and not too complicated to understand. The examples are great, and HDR photo's by other photographers are featured. Overall, I don't believe I could have gotten a better bang for my bucks. I rate this book five stars.

I am a professional who has shot traditional photography for many years and had a new photography book published last year. However, when I decided to get started in HDR photography, I was totally lost. That is, until I discovered Ferrell McCollough's book, "Complete Guide to HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY". This book goes everywhere with me, along with my camera and equipment manuals. It's the old "Don't leave home without it." It is extremely easy to read, the examples are excellent, and Mr. McCollough thoroughly knows the subject. I read the book, then went back and produced an HDR image following the easy step-by-step instructions. Within a couple of days I was producing HRD images beyond my expectations. If you want a quick and easy means of getting started in HDR, this is the book. And, it goes into advanced techniques such as multiple flash HDR imaging. In addition, the book provides an excellent comparison of numerous HDR processing software platforms, so you can decide which one to use without having to buy it first.
