Review: It's All Here and Then Some - Quite simply, this is THE definitive book on all aspects of HDRI photography. In setting about trying to photograph and put together my own HDRI panoramas, this book answered every question I had, and tackled every problem I ran into. It's very clearly written, well organized and well illustrated. It contains loads of specific technical information as well as a solid overview of the underlying principals of this specialized area of photography. This is the kind of book you can pick up, open at random, and learn something new and valuable. I'm not sure what I was expecting, exactly, but what I discovered was a volume that is probably one of the best overviews of the technology of digital photography I'm aware of. And it manages to be that while never losing sight of its primary focus on HDRI images specifically. Whether you want to shoot your own images, work with pre-existing HDRI resources, or simply gain an understanding of what it's all about, this book is simply terrific.
Review: The deinitive book on HDRI. - This is possibly the best book on digital photography that I have read to date. It is a technical book but not one that is obtuse. The first chapter gives a well crafted description of the limitations of digital cameras, sensors and the output (LDR images). From there a thorough discussion of the HDRI process with a descrption of most if not all the current HDRI software. There where hints here which improved my source images immediately. Merging a set of images into an HDR image is only the first step. Tone mapping is the next step. As is explained in the book tone mapping is the process of converting an HDR image to an LDR image. Christian Bloch explains the need for this process and gives a tutorial on a number of the HDR software packages. Also covered is the use HDR and stiched images to created a panorama image. A single reading of this book is not enough. When I started I was looking for specific information to take better source pictures and get more out of photomatrix pro. Now that I have satisfied that need I realize that a number of topics discussed early on have a greater importance to me. I will probably start reading it again too fill in holes that I left.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need this book!
*by B***R on March 21, 2013*

Yes it's technical and yes it's probably more than you will ever want to know about HDR but if you are into this type of photography this book is invaluable. The more you progress (and you will do it faster using Bloch's book) the more you will appreciate having this reference. Bloch is an excellent writer, making every chapter understandable. He also has a great sense of humor that I appreciate. A DVD is included that contains examples so you can work along with the chapters as well as access to the various programs used and discounts to purchase. If you have made HDR photos Bloch shows you how to go far beyond what you thought possible and you will find that it is not that difficult. A great book and a great teacher.
