'Ol Barn for C&C Please

[MX-ActionShots]

Please C&C this for me, from comp, processing, etc...

This was 3 exposures, blended and ton mapped in Photomatix, then adjusted in LR2. I wanted to have the interior exposed more, but wasn't sure on what to do?

I'm thinking of going back with my speedlites, set them up inside and fire them with the cybersyncs?? Or should I just expose for the interior, as well as the exterior, with more exposures?

Thanks for looking!

A way to illuminate the inside of the barn would be to bring a halogen light (like they sell at Home Depot for thirty bucks--borrow one), and turn it on for some of the shots. Leave it off for others.

Of course, you'd have to plug it in, so that could be a problem.

Wireless strobes would definitely work, but then you'd have to have that equipment.

You could always use powerful flashlights. Might work.

Extend the exposure sequence to include good exposure for the interior. That is the whole point of shooting an exposure sequence for HDR.

Have fun!

The only way to illuminate the inside of the barn (from the position of the camera on the tripod out in the field) is to use lights, a strobe, or natural sunlight (if it hits that opening).

You could always just light the inside of the barn on fire after taking exterior shots and then hope you get a good one of the interior as the flames peak.


Just kidding (legal disclaimer).

Between those white clouds and that black interior is a really big range of light to dark,
more than the range of exposures from your lightest to your darkest exposure.
This type of situation is when you start to need 5 exposures spread out further...
But your shot looks good even as it stands.
Thanks for sharing.
