This is Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi. It’s a wonderful place full of a rich bouquet of textures and light. There isn’t a bad shot of it to be had in this well-preserved Moghul tomb, and these light levels were made for HDR.
I’ve put another image of this tomb in the upcoming book. I talked a little more about the shot and some additional explanation about how it was made. When I go around and give talks, get feedback, and hear all the comments here on the blog, flickr, and facebook, I get a lot of repeat questions. I think the book will be a good chance to get them all in a nice definitive place where almost everything can be addressed. At least, I hope so!

Nice work…. Actually like the flaring effect – normally seen as a ‘bad thing’…

I left you a comment on Flickr, but you deserve one over here as well. This is simply fantastic!

Hey Trey, Can’t wait to get the book. Quick question; I ordered the book without the print (I ordered before the details of the print were out). Is it too late to add the print to my order?

Johm,
Yes a little tough to do that… It’s really tough to keep everything straight I’m afraid on the back end – we are not as sophisticated as Amazon! sorry about that!

Trey,
Thanks for many wonderful pictures and for sharing your techniques with the photography community. I enjoyed your interview at http://www.prophotoshow.net/blog/ recenly, encourage others to listen!
A question: many of your architectural HDRs such as this one has a Orton-like effect (simultaneously hazy and sharp). Combined with the vivid colors and the details, it creates a dreamlike mood.
How do you create this effect? -

Trey,
yeah man, i’ve been following you for the past year or two.. readin up on all your tutorials and i want to buy your book. I am a sound designer by trade, but i love visual stimulation as much as the next artist.. Ive been shooting in RAW, and just picked up adobe lightroom to archive my photos.. slowly i will begin to do some editing. i want to amass a collection to choose from before i dive in!

such beautiful photography. we can not wait for your book to get here! i ordered a copy for myself and one for my son.
July 14th, 2009 21:31 | Trey Ratcliff
Thx very much all
Peter – it is orton-y eh? Part of that is explained in the HDR Tutorial – has to do with the remixing part
Chris – cool you are a sound designer – that kind of thing is interesting to me.
Alice – cool – thanks so much!
