Motion Blur vs. Ghosting: The Difference between These 2 Artifacts – From the HDR Photography Workshop Series
In HDR photography, we are usually taking bracketed sequences to create the final HDR image. Since bracketing involves multiple consecutive shots, any moving objects in your scene will be moving across each bracketed image, a common artifact in HDR photography known as ghosting. Do not confuse ghosting with motion blur as motion blur and ghosting are two different artifacts created by two different pieces of the overall HDR process. In this article, we will explain the difference is between motion blur and ghosting in HDR photography.

Reasons Why You Should Shoot HDR Images at the Lowest Native ISO Setting – From the HDR Photography Workshop Series
In previous tutorials, we discussed what the optimal shutter speed and aperture setting should be when we are shooting HDR photography. Now, we are going to discuss the optimal ISO setting. In HDR photography, we are combing multiple exposures to create one final HDR image. This process of combining exposures automatically creates certain challenges, one being the overall grain in the final HDR image. When you shoot at your camera’s lowest native ISO, you will still see a little bit of grain in your images. Because of this, always keep your ISO at the lowest native ISO on your camera whenever possible. For Canon users, the lowest native ISO is 100. For Nikon users, the lowest native ISO is around 160. In this article, we will discuss reasons why the optimal ISO setting in HDR photography is the lowest native ISO on your camera. In addition, we will also explain what native ISO means.

Understanding Each Section in the HSL/Color/B&W Panel in Lightroom 4 – From the Lightroom 4 A to Z Workshop on DVD
In this video from our Lightroom 4 A to Z Workshop on DVD, we will discuss the HSL/Color/B&W Panel in Lightroom 4 in complete detail. The HSL/Color/B&W Panel is unique from all of the other panels in Lightroom 4 because there are 3 sections within this panel that you can work in to adjust your images. In the HSL section, you can adjust the Hues, Saturation and Luminance of the image, hence the name HSL. The HSL section is almost identical to the Color section of the panel except the Color section displays a different layout than the HSL section. Lastly, the B&W section in the HSL/Color/B&W Panel stands for “black and white,” where you can adjust the luminance of the colors in black and white. In this article, we will discuss how to make adjustments in each of these sections as well as explain how these adjustments affect your images overall.
