Summer Twilight: Creating a HDRI Landscape With a Series of Photos

The photos for this tutorial were provided by Johan Jensen, Denmark.

When taking pictures in the late evening you are always confronted with the same problem: all shadows and dimly lit areas appear as one black splotch. Only brightly lit areas are visible (such as the sky or a body of water).

If you want a well-done photo of an evening landscape, take a series of photos at different exposures, and combine them into an HDR Image. To get the best result use AKVIS HDRFactory.
