Miniature style photo photo retouch "HDR (High Dynamic Range)"

There are photographs that look like miniatures or miniatures. It takes pictures of miniatures in real life, but of course some technique is needed.

However, if you use photo retouching software equipped with "HDR (High Dynamic Range)" feature, anyone can create miniature-like photos in no time. It's more like a fantasy feeling than a miniature style, and you can create an unreal sight like a set of movies like the picture above.

There are things that collected only HDR images on Flickr, so it is quick to see it. Surprisingly these images are live action photos. Some things are not very real live things.

Strictly speaking, HDR is not a miniaturization, but it is certain that it is the foundation on which it can easily be shown as a miniature style. If you want to make it like a miniature, basics are OK if you place something that looks like a miniature in the middle with this HDR technique. After that, it will be pretty much like if you carefully blur the top and bottom. It takes time and effort to try to shoot with a camera, but if you create multiple images with extreme talk, lightness etc. changed from one image and attach them with HDR, it will look like it quickly. Try it.
