Taking multiple exposures for drone photography is good practice for two main reasons. Firstly, it limits your reliance on a smartphone’s screen for image exposure. Taking into account sunshine, shadows, smartphone brightness, and other factors, it can be difficult to determine the exposure from your smartphone screen. By shooting multiple exposures, AEB provides some leeway to ensure you end up with the perfect shot.
The second reason to use AEB is to create High Dynamic Range (HDR) images. These are images that are composed of multiple exposures to create a detailed shot.
How To Create An HDR Image In Photoshop
In this quick Photoshop tutorial, we are going to use three images taken at different exposures from Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay to create an HDR image.
1. Open up Photoshop, select File > Automate > Merge to HDR Pro. In the pop-up, select the images you want to merge. Choose “Select to automatically align source images” to avoid an unwanted ghosting effect.
2. Photoshop will automatically combine the different shots to create an HDR image.
3. Saving the image in 32-bit format will allow you to use the full range of tools available in Adobe Camera Raw to edit the photo without compromising image quality.
Whether you are blending exposures for an HDR image or shooting multiple exposures, the AEB feature in DJI Go ensures you get the perfect shot every time.
