When walking thru Sevilla, I stumbled upon an area that immediately caught my eye – a place brimming with character, light, and life. It was during a scouting mission for one of my upcoming photo trips, and since it was my first time in this Spanish city, I was on a mission to discover the best locations to explore with my participants.
This kind of recon is essential when planning a photography tour. I want to ensure that every location we visit offers something truly special – whether it’s a golden-hour view of a historic landmark, a quiet courtyard bursting with local life, or a hidden corner that sparks creativity. Finding these places firsthand allows me to craft a meaningful and visually inspiring experience for everyone who joins me.
Photography Tip: How to properly merge RAW photos from exposure brackets
Exposure bracketing is perfect for capturing scenes with a high dynamic range – such as sunrises or sunsets. To properly merge RAW photos, you’ll need software that supports HDR processing (e.g., Lightroom or Photomatix). It’s important to:
- Always shoot in RAW format.
- Set camera settings into A-Mode.
- Merge the photos in the software and reduce ghosting effects.
- Edit the final HDR image subtly to preserve a natural look.
