Thank you very much - your positive feedback means a lot to me, really!

[@2o4II112II26o2]

Bought the PDF guide sheet and am also very happy to donate to show my appreciation for your work and study of this camera platform, to help us all get the best out of it, Thomas. To help us conquer high dynamic ranges, especially with the professional method using Affinity Photo (which I also use and recommend) is brilliant and very helpful. I consider what you are providing to be very worthwhile and valuable, particularly seeing how well Affinity Photo does the HDR tone-mapping, as you demonstrated. Although post-processing is to be avoided...I think artistically it can be justified when the software is doing just a 'mechanical' process ( not offering chances to intervene or adjust ) and, thus, we can preserve the purity of the concept of getting it 'right in camera' ; just using HDR and Tone Mapping to overcome a technical limitation of the hardware but still putting the onus on the photographer to get the images, in all other aspects 'correct' when the shutter button is pressed. The reference tables of dynamic range expansion mapped to HDR bracketing settings is , as you can expect , very useful because it gives a framework within which the guessing is much reduced and the science can be used instead. Please keep up this very useful research and explanation of this platform...it will benefit hundreds and possibly thousands of photographers. Thank you again, Thomas.... David from Glasgow

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

David, I'm very thankful for your generous support and your kind words. That is truly quite something and I can't state enough how much this means to me. I agree - HDR done right preserves the purity of the craft - and when getting it right in the field, there is no need to distort an image in post production. Which is tedious and can result in unrealistic images. Also, good to hear that you are also using Affinity Photo, it really is a very capable piece of software - and so fast. Love it!

Arguably, the best insights into HDR ever, many thanks...

Great to hear, that is an excellent decision. The OM-1 transformed my work, it is such an outstanding tool. I hope you'll like it as much as I do. Best, Thomas 📸

[@sergiodonadeo2810]

I don't like HDR in general. I deeply appreciated Thomas' lessons about ND and High Resolution as the best way to NOT use HDR. And I obtained interesting results. But in some cases, multiple shots are required. Ad ex.: shots inside a room with windows

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Agreed - sometimes it is just unavoidable. But with the tips from this video, you will get perfectly natural results - promised. No one will even notice that it was an HDR image, only the trained eye.

[@markusbolliger1527]

Great work Thomas, excellent tutorial! Especially for my landscape photography with the OM-1, - which became my new and only system two months ago (!), - it is crucial to exploit the full dynamic range of the camera - if necessary with the aid of HDR. Your lecture is a great help to achieve the best possible results in every situation. Well done, chapeau!

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Thank you very much Markus - as you've said, HDR is really the key to excellent results in many landscape photography scenarios. It sounds like you are happy with the switch so far?

Abgesehen vom tollen Feedback: Es freut mich wirklich dass ein erfahrener Fotograf wie du zu den selben Schlüssen kommt wie ich: Kein praxisrelevanter Unterschied und dafür viele neue Möglichkeiten mit einem Werkzeug, dass man einfach immer ohne Probleme dabei haben kann. Ich bin tendenziell eher zurückhaltend mit klaren Empfehlungen, da jeder individuelle Bedürfnisse hat - daher freut es mich wirklich, wenn ich dich nicht auf einen für dich "falschen Weg" gebracht habe, sondern du meine Begeisterung teilst!

Great video once again!

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Thank you so much!

[@JeffreyMcPheeters]

this was by far the best and most succinct discussion on how to maximize performance of the mirrorless cameras we love. And the reference sheet you designed is brilliant. My own methods arrived through the past couple of decades and earlier in film work when I frequently came up against scenes like sunsets over beaches. With the modern cameras I use the highlights and shadows indicators, setting the range in camera to 5 for shadows and 250 for highlights. Then I just adjust exposure until it looks like I'm about in the middle between the highs and lows, and test how many stops by dialing the EVF compensation two, three, or five stops each way to see what will compensate to cover the range properly and that's how I know what to set the HDR mode to cover that number of stops. Thanks for clarifying how to make the EVF/LCD display a better idea of the dynamic range. I'd never thought of that. I've made custom monochrome settings to get black and white the way I like and to see in the view finder what I want to happen. It just never occurred to me to expand the dynamic range of the view finder for handling high dynamic range scenes. You're really helping the community and some of these tips would apply to other mirrorless cameras I'd expect.

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Thank you very much for the kind comment and for sharing your HDR method! It is very much like the one I present here - maybe because we both have a strong background in film photography, we came up with a similar approach. Great to have you on the channel, many thanks for the comment, I very much appreciate it!

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Oh and yes, the method definitely works with other digital cameras as well - you just have to figure out the "core dynamic range" - usually four stops, but for some cameras less.

[@gregfeeler6910]

Today is my second viewing of this video. After the first viewing I tried in-camera HDR with my OM-1 and it opened up a whole new world for me. I want to become very proficient with using the in-camera HDR1 and HDR2 settings for travel photography, but I also want to learn to do the manual tone mapping as you demonstrate here. Your videos have done, and are doing, more for my photography than any other source on the Internet. Thank you so much, Thomas.

[@diogoferreira9039]

Wow! Amazing video as usual! Thank you so much! I've used hdr1 quite a bit, especially in previous olympus camera models... I don't use it as much with the om1 because the hand held hi-res already increases the dynamic range of the photos, and delivers one raw high resolution image... I have to compare exposure braketing with the hi-res in high contrasting scenes to see if the gains are significant in realistic terms. Again thank you so much for these wonderful videos.

[@BarryCarlton]

Compelling video as usual. I kept thinking of Adams's Zone System as I watched: establish the darkest and lightest values in the image, use a spot meter to establish an exposure setting, then adjust your development time to fit your negative density range to the range of the scene. The difference here is that bracketed exposures take the place of adjusting your development time.

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Many thanks for the feedback - Ansel Adams's literature was actually inspiring this method, as I was really unsatisfied with the regular "just bracket a few stops and hope for the best" method.

Many thanks for another enlightening (ahem!) clip, Thomas. While I have already spent a little time on the HDR settings in my camera, the detail you gave me was quite new very valuable, as was the walk-through on using and setting HDR. Given that I tend to do more landscape photography than any other, this will serve me well, given that landscapes often have a wide dynamic range. Musing about the OM-1 and its feature set, I can't help but think that OMS/Olympus have applied a great deal of thought to make the camera as versatile and capable as possible. I wonder if other manufacturers have applied such a depth of thought to their products? I'm not sure if you're planning a look at the "digital teleconverter" setting, but I was astonished when I tried it - I was expecting to get a simple reduced-pixel-count image, but it produced a full 20MP image that seemed quite _sharp._

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Many thanks for the feedback! I completely agree, a lot of thought and effort went into the OM-1, it is so capable, I'm hyped every time I pick it up. Regarding the teleconverter, I will indeed do a video on that, but I have to set up my test lab first so I can provide MTF data for best objectivity. Many thanks again!

[@RobertVE3VPL]

Let me add my thanks for this. I have been shooting Olympus for years, although hardly any HDR, but this was the first time I have heard of that HDR Quick Ref guide, let alone hearing an explanation of how to use it. Makes me wonder what else I've missed.

Very very interesting argument: it's what I would read about. Some months ago, during an Olympus meeting organized by "Micro 4/3 Italia" the speaker magnified Photomatix software to manage HDR pictures, even with subject in motion. I wait for Thomas' lesson with enthusiasm. Sergio from Milano

Awesome, I will cover mostly the camera side of things - will you join tonight?

[@salgado_fotos]

What a great contribution and how well explained.👏👏👏 A detail that surprised me in the OM5 (I don't know if it is the same in the OM1) is that when shooting in HDR mode and there is a moving subject, it will appear frozen in the final photo (both in the HDR JPG and in the file RAW, although they do not match).🤔

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Thank you! Yes, all Olympus/OM cameras use the same HDR algorithm at the moment - with the results you just observed. If the subject moves a lot, the blur will be more significant in the composite.

You're definitely smart, and you know the OM1 inside and out. Ill need ro sit down and watch these tutorials while holding my camera probably... a good 5x before i "kinda" understand. I normally listen to your videos as I drive at work so you can imagine im listening like "wtf is he saying!?". I mean my style of photography is RAW/Manual and sometimes I can pretend im the ultimate badass using the focus stacking option. I guess thats why I was drawn to the Em5-1 and look at Leica or Ricoh with more passion. I just want to aim the camera and take a photo. I have never used video either in the 4 olympus and OM1 cameras ive owned. Wish I could forfeit the video for more image stats lol

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Thanks! Yes, you should definitely keep the cam next to you. Also, don't forget that you can set the OM-1 to Ricoh GR mode as well - you just don't utilize its full potential then, but it is great fun. Best, Thomas

[@Lawman212]

Excellent video! But I'm wondering about the basis of your calculation of the dynamic range of the scene. 10-4 means 6 stops of expansion. Ok, but why 4? I'm not sure where that value came from.

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

That is not very easy to answer. First, I looked at the high fidelity dynamic range of the OM files. Then, after controlled tests I came to the conclusion that it is best to add a bit of wiggle room on top of that for best results in the final composite. You might be able to get away with 5 to 6 stops as well, but with four, best results are guaranteed under all circumstances.

[@christill]

I’ve been having fun trying out HDR 1 and 2, and all of the other computational modes. Figuring out when to use each of them and just experimenting. That also made me go back to JPG after trying out raw. I felt like raw was a bit overkill for me.

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Thanks for sharing!

[@248horns]

You clearly enjoy the OM-1 - and I am considering it - Can you please tell me how the camera performs for noise levels when using high ISO whilst having to crop as we often have to do for wildlife? Thanks

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

To be honest, I would not worry about nosie at all, even when you have to crop. The new imaging pipeline and the processing is excellent, I shot low light fashion shows (sometimes ISO 12.800) for international clients with it and no one ever complained, quite the contrary, they continue booking me. I'm really all praise for this camera, because in my experience, it is just so capable. Consider watching this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHu0mH2DeLZ9mZosi=E2ZHII1IQp5Ri954 and this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYnQZKObhMxoqMUsi=R2gzFgUkpdFCzMPB Hope this helps

[@akeluify]

Great video like usual! Would you recommend leaving those custom picture settings on all the time even outside shooting hdr? And do you feel there are any downsides to this? Thanks

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Many thanks! If you leave them on, the resulting images can look a bit flat if the dynamic range of the scene is only a couple of stops. I prefer setting up the Picture Mode in a way that the result is almost finished in camera, as OM Workspace reads the embedded settings (although they can be changed). To get to the point: If you shoot RAW and want to preview the dynamic range, you can leave them on, especially if you do not edit in OM Workspace but non-OEM software. Hope this helps!

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Yes!

[@markuskammerer2307]

Still waiting for the one-stop combination of HighRes Shoot + Bracketing to get 80 MP with full dynamic range. Doing it manually is possible but error prone and slow. Obvious, the functionallity is there (also in the EM1 Series) but these parts of the software are not connected yet. Still hoping on a firmware update to deliver this functionallity.

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

I agree that this would be nice, but: You would need at least 7 times the memory to perform bracketing and high res shot at the same time. I doubt that the current models have the hardware capable of doing that. That is quite something and most certainly beyond a firmware update.

[@bamsemh1]

If I want my model to be clear, with perfect sunset background. Should I then spot meter on her with s-af and then move the camera while holding shutter till I shoot? I like to keep the model and sun in each side of the frame.

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Well, there are many skills to master to get such a shot. But in principle, spot metering the face and applying exp. comp. depending on skin color is always a good starting point.

[@ivanmarquez6809]

Hello Thomas , one question, in what place do you put focus point for base exposure?

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

I focus on the most important part of the image - just like I would when capturing the scene without HDR. The focus should not change from frame to frame (OM-1 automatically locks AF in HDR)

[@christos5869]

What happen if the value of DR Scene in lower of 4 so the subtraction 0f 4 give as negative result?Also if the DR Expansion is odd number ,lets say and when we divide 5/2 the result is 2.5 which shutter speed we select?

[@ThomasEisl.Photography]

Q1: you can capture that in one shot. There is no need for HDR in this case. Q2: Rounding is recommended in such cases. Note that I've included a safety margin to cover these scenarios. To be on the safe side, always choose the faster S.S. to not clip channels.

On the OM system camera in hdr1 and hdr2 mode it takes 4 exposures and blends into one jpg that is the hdr photo. And raw photo that goes with it is the 0 EV exposure.
