Stunning HDR photos of waves
October 23, 2008
After a long winter the spring has arrived, and that means that summer is just around the corner. At least for us down here in the southern hemisphere. To celebrate that, and to follow up on our series of HDR Photos posts we selected some stunning HDR photos of beaches and waves. Enjoy ;)
The next two photos are not HDR but they are simply amazing.

Woah, some stunning pictures!
Wow ! Really cool selection !
Do you it is obtained via one single raw shot processed directly in photomatix (or other app) ? Or tree shots taken really really fast (seems impossible to me) ?
The HDR effect is amazing. But one of my favourite photos is the last one. Very well surprise the depth of field.

These are awesome but I don't know how they could be made: don't you have to take at least 2 photos to make a HDR image? Wouldn't the waves have changed shape by then and mess up the image?
Nice photos, great find!
Check out this guys wave-photos, they are amazing!

@Dermah: You get the best contrast by merging multiple exposures (with multiple shots), but you can still apply hdr tonemapping algorithms to single image captures.
these are hot!!
These are not HDR pictures, mates, they are just processed(photoshopped if you will) normal images. So stop calling it HDR. "HDR effect" is an inconsistent term since it originates from somebody who at one time decided to tonemap a HDR image very poorly and it looked kinda cool so everybody suddenly started to use tonemapping-like algorithms and call it "HDR images." HDRI was invented to capture things more realistically, not to make poorly tonemapped images, that mostly weren't HDRI in the first place.
Thank you very much Fabio, for showing one of my images in your blog, great selection, as always.
spectacular photos!
Great pics dude. Liked them a lot :)
Wonderful work both in camera and in Photoshop. A most basic and critical query would be how do you include the waves in the shot? Every HDR requires atleast three exposures and more to make them even better. To include a perfect HDR shot of the waves or anything else moving in the shot you would have to use three or more cameras shooting simultaneously each taking bracketted exposures of the scene. A single camera will only provide auto-bracketted exposures only hundredths of a second apart at best thus ruining the content for any moving objects in the shot. My best guess is you made an HDR shot of everything else and the waves are always a single non-bracketted exposure which you had to Photoshop for the final result. Please illuminate us on your personal method/trick. Cheers, Osku
