HDR - Images


Hey Guys a While ago
I went out to take some HDR - Image's
Maybe some of you are familiar with it ....
if not ... Don't worry .. read on
It is a photo with 3 or 5 Different exposure's that you
have to take with a Tripod and when you done ..
open in Photoshop and join these images Together...
and do some Post-Production to get a that grunge look.


Now to the Photoshop part ...
Open Photoshop go to File > Automate >
Photomerge > Import Images > select a layout (Auto)
> tick of the box at the bottom witch says
( Blend Images Together ) > OK .
Photoshop has now combined the Images
and you can start doing some Post - production on it .

f
Try to work in Image >
Adjustments and use some Filter ..
Thanks Guy's if you have any question
just leave a comment...

THE HELICOPTER PILOT

THE HELICOPTER PILOT


Model ( Stefan Mechaelis ) asked me to take
some shots of him while he was flying his choppa,
so he could use those images for his CV and I got a free
Helicopter Ride ... Sometimes I think you have a great live
as a photographer you get to meet new people all the
time and sometimes you even get lucky and score a flight.
HEHE... I tryed to make a Panoramic pic out of the choppa
While we where flying and yes I think it looks ok !
After we landed somewhere in a lost area I took a shoot
of stefan flying past me and right after that he just
landed right an front of me " Where I thought SH.@!!
he is so close he is going to chop of my head ...
But lucky I just drop onto the ground
and took some nice shoots there " !!!


Weel but Overall Big Thanks
again Stefan for that Flight I did realy Enjoy Flying With u !!!
As you can see on my face Expression ... hehehe

The Butterfly Effect


THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
Gothic Shoot - CD Cover
This Theme is not so Typical my Style but
I enjoyed working on a Project like this and I think as a
good Photographer you should have the skill to do anything.
I Photographed the forest in early morning while the fog was still
hang in it .. and placed the model in with photoshop.


On This Image we used
One Flash Light straight at the subject and a good work
in Photoshop added some Textures and red eye Effect .

Glenfiddich Whiskey


Glenfiddich Whiskey - So strong it will break your Glass .

I used a big Black sheet With a kind of Triangle cut out

to get the light in this shape .. used a normal whiskey glass

and made it look Broken in Photoshop..

Hehe yes I did think of braking the glass

and then shoot it ,but how will do

something like that braking a expensive whiskey glass..

is not worth it.. so Once again Photoshop played a big roll.

The Cocaine Dealer on his new mission to bring his cocaine

into our homes ! This Images was also photographed for

the ANTI-DRUG-BOOK to let addictive People see what controlled there lives.. and get a message to wake up and relays that it is not worth it to take these drugs..

Thanks to Model ( Helgo Lange).
