You
know I have a thing about fire hydrants. I just couldn’t resist the temptation
to “play” with the Pentax K-01’s HDR capabilities while sitting in the Walmart
parking lot a few nights ago. My goal was to focus on the fire hydrant and
catch some folks walking by in a “street photography” kind of composition.
I
took several shots but this is the one I like the best. The photo’s data
properties don’t really tell you exactly what the camera did. It only tells you that
the exposure settings were f4.5, 1/13, and ISO @ 1600. Clearly, using the HDR
Auto setting resulted in three separate shots taken and then merged in camera
post processing to create the one shown here.
As
you can see from the cropped photo below the fire hydrant is quite sharp. I
would say the HDR Auto works very well in this typical kind of night scene.
All of my shots including this one were hand held
although I did brace the camera against the steering wheel to help steady it.
Also of note is that these were taken from inside the vehicle through the tinted
windshield.
