Shooting HDR with the Canon T2i 550D

www.learningdslrvideo.com I was up in Breckenridge Colorado over the labor day weekend with the family. When I travel to some place new I like to check out Flickr first to see some of the best shots of the area. Over the past couple of years I kept noticing that BridgePix (Thad) from Denver Colorado consistently was at the top of all the places I looked. I learn a lot by trying to backward engineer stuff so I thought I would try duplicating his two shoots in Breckenridge Colorado. I failed. His HDR shots are so much better than mine.

shop.telescope-warehouse.com Email Bill to make arrangements for INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: scopehed@frontiernet.net (Please let him know that MILAPSE sent you! (full disclosure: I receive a small sales commission)) Bracket: 3.5″ x 9.5″ x 1/8″ aluminum plate, 90 degree bend at about 3.5″, the hole pattern is 4 X 1-1/16″ OC (3/16″ dia). The 1/4″ holes to receive the camera mount depends on the camera tripod grommet position. If you had the plate bent you could tap the holes with a home shop drill. If you take the head and your camera to a metal shop it should only take them 5-10 minutes to fabricate something. If you want to learn more about the controllers here are the manuals: www.meade.com www.meade.com

    try this site it helps alot ” hdrphotolover.weebly.com”

  2. how did you get the camera to do all of the shots in a row like that?

  3. Hey, have you seen the new magic lantern update? You can get HDR video. Could you have a look and possibly make a video about it?

    @dongbuka /watch?v=rD0Odnrxbc8 skip to 1:58 O_o

  5. why don’t you use the hdr function in magic lantern? also thanks alot for introducing me to magic lantern… really amazing firmware. Makes the t2i so much more flexible and capable of things. I use it for photography, even though initially it was for video. It is great.

    @MrCrazyeyes001 I wanted to use a wider lens like the other guy did. I did use a lot of processing in lightroom.

  7. MrCrazyeyes001 says:

    Hi Dave, I tried to shooting HDR, but I never got the sky to come out blue, what is the secret, ND filter or Light Room??.

    Also, you said you don’t have the right lens, is there a special lens for HDR pictures?

    Thanks

  8. @drumat5280 I thought you make a hdr photo with camera t2i directly. I was suprise with it, but no. because, I’m so happy if the feature of canon t2i same as sony’s dslr.

  9. hyperfocus2011 says:

    love your videos though so its not omportant!

  10. hyperfocus2011 says:

    Keep doing your videos you’re really good

  11. hyperfocus2011 says:

    @drumat5280 Oh good video then!

  12. drumat5280 says:

    @hyperfocus2011 it is just a cheap point and shoot camera.

  13. hyperfocus2011 says:

    What is wrong with the camera you filmed all these with?? Is the lens dirty in the middle???

  14. drumat5280 says:

    @dongbuka what is wrong with it?

  15. problem with the title

  16. drumat5280 says:

    @faridMacLeod Sorry the title of the video is Shooting HDR, and not how to, sorry I didn’t show the whole process. I have many other videos on my site on the HDR process if you like to view them there.

  17. faridMacLeod says:

    you actually don’t show HOW TO make HDR photography !

  18. fivestarlesson says:

    Why do you shoot at a low shutter speed and compensate with f-stop?

  19. squall2231 says:

    i have the canon T2i and i’ve experimented with HDR a lot, i love that pictures and i the conclusion i got getting a lot of HDR shots is that the more exposure steps photos you take the better. I am wondering you are asking how can that be done with the T2i, well i have magic lantern on my camera, that software is really awesome. Here are my photos for you to see flickr.com/photos/andres_mejias/sets/72157627573852986/

    To learn how to achieve true HDR photographs with your own camera, please search out Pro Photo Results / HDR on YouTube

  21. Damn I wish I had aphoto of the train its awesome

  22. blacklanternz says:

    @Anhslaught I think by HDR he means high dynamic range, but I don’t really know much about it other than that unfortunately.

  23. hi – i reccomend you golden hour maybe instead of harsh daylight?

  24. drumat5280 says:

    @StephenSebTaylor That is my 28-135mm I have it listed on my gear page.

  25. Hi !
    What are the native Alt & Az ratio ?
    Why the Azimuth setting circle is not set in degrees (360°) ??

  26. Ok.. But how do I set this to this to do 360 pan or 90 degree tilt at a certain speed without the need of a clamp to press the button?

  27. Do i need the controller? will it work without the controller? Could you show how it works withouth the controller?

  28. nagualdesign says:

    @milapse ‘Sidereal’ means ‘pertaining to the stars’. Because the Earth orbits the Sun it actually rotates slightly more than 360 degrees in 24 hours (a solar day). A sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once in relation to the stars, which is only about 23h 56m.
    Anal, I know, but factual. :)

  29. thanks for the video and links!

    time-lapse rulez!! Do you know you can make time-lpase movies with any camera with this device: (copy address to browser): tempusALL.bymac.org
    Works with ANY camera! ckeck it out 😛

  32. @tbizzlecu The spelling is: Sidereal check out the Wikipedia entry but it’s basically 360 degrees in 24 hours. (rotation of the earth)

  33. What does sidereel mean?

  34. I have the head and controller already for a telescope I bought. do you have that aluminium bracket that holds the camera for sale?

  35. @obviologist Panning is the horizontal movement or rotation of a camera. What your describing is tracking.

  36. @Kauzman01 Go to the site and section Motors and Drives and you will see it called Milapse.

  38. HighOctanePhotos says:

    @obviologist Sorry dude, he’s right when he calls it panning, you should really do some research before criticizing someone…

  39. Hi!! I’m looking for a little motorized rotating head, I’m an amateur, and i want to travel with this, then I seek the smallest and the least expensive. what you recommand me please? It’s not easy to find it…

  40. obviologist says:

    wow, so this is not panning at all, this is rotating the camera. panning is when the camera moves in a direction perpendicular to the lens. that is the camera moves left or right (with a possible up or down motion as well) while the lens stays in a consistant direction

  41. I was wondering the same thing as Kauzman0. Where can I get one of these telescope motors since the link above says “Unable to find Specified Product in Catalog.”?

    I was looking for such a device for time lapse photography when I saw your video and realized I have a motorized telescope in my closet. Unfortunately, the Celestron Nexstar 114gt head would be difficult one to modify.

    Can you provide the model number of the one in your video?

  42. The link is dead. Is this still available at all? I’d like to be able to do these sweet time-lapse.

  44. Can you program the unit to stop moving for each exposure? If you can’t and the unit keeps moving during each exposure, the resulting frames will be blurrier than what is possible if the unit can stop moving during each exposure.

  45. myphotogenesis says:

    I was wanting to learn how to do time lapse, and low & behold I landed at your channel via flickr! I will explore your channel more before I consider the purchase of the kit mentioned. I am hyped now! Thanks for sharing!

  46. Hello :) Love your videos!! I want to make time lapse videos too, with my 5D mkII, but first I need to buy a milapse set up like you’ve directed us here:
    shop.telescope-warehouse . com/product.sc?categoryId=1&productId=119

    I’ve emailed scopehed @frontiernet. net about a month ago, asking them about shipping to Australia… but they never replied. Any advice? Do you know if they’ll even ship to Australia?
