"Parasol" redirects here. For other uses, see Umbrella (disambiguation) or Parasol (disambiguation).

The parasol is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism.
An umbrella or parasol (sometimes colloquially, gamp, brolly, umbrellery, or bumbershoot) is a canopy designed to protect against precipitation or sunlight. The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Often the difference is the material; some parasols are not waterproof. Parasols are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture. Umbrellas are almost exclusively hand-held portable devices; however, parasols can also be hand-held. Umbrellas can be held as fashion accessories.

The word umbrella is from the Latin word umbra, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek ómbros (όμβρος;). Its meaning is shade or shadow. Brolly is a slang word for umbrella, used often in Britain, New Zealand and Australia. Bumbershoot is a fanciful Americanism from the late 19th century.

Feature HDR-Shots

~McMichi:iconMcMichi: reports, August 22, 2007
Hi Deviantart Community,
that's my first news that I submit on Deviantart. Therefore it is a little premiere for me this time! :)

Meantime, I observed the DA news for a long time but in my opinion there was all the time a topic that missed.
It's the HDR-Photography.

For many of you this sort of photography is nothing since there are a lot of people who think that it would'n be so difficult to shot any good-looking photos. For the rest, including me :aww:, HDR-Photography is one of the greatest inventions since there are photo cameras :P

By the way, if you are an HDR-Photographer and you are not in a club, here is mine.
:iconhdr-club:

And for those of you who don't know what HDR is, here is a little explanation from WIKI [link]


Furthermore I would like to appreciate all these HDR-Photographers on the list below, that shot many stunning HDR-Photos. If you are not on this list and you would like to show your HDR-Photo here, please send me a note with the subject "HDR-News", thanks ;)

Best Regards
McMichi

HDR shots are great, but your going to get a lot of old school shooters that think they are pretty cheap

Of course your think "HDR" is the greatest invention in photography. It means you don't have to think about exposure. You just pull out your DSLR (that mommy probably paid for), take a handful of bracketed shots, and then murder the image in software. You use techniques originating with Paul Debevec to merge multiple exposures but most of you probably don't know who he is. Debevec's intent was to capture a "light probe" and use it for rendering synthetic scenes to produce more realistic lighting. Go look in some of the 3D rendering categories, many people are still using his light probes (I have too). But that's not what you guys do. No, you tone-map the HDR image into an LDR image, squashing all of the contrast out of the scene. In extreme cases (too much local contrast, too little global contrast), the result is garish and cartoonish.

Ahem...
That being said, these are some of the better "HDR" photos I've seen. One is even in my favourites - I didn't realise it was "HDR" until later.

Contrast and darkness should not be feared.

@ Imroy:

I understand what you are saying and I also agree with some things, but you forgot an essential element: the fun of making the HDR photo's. Because HDR is very interesting because you can make very normal objects stand out in ways that you've never seen before. For instance the brick (the third photo). The brick was very boring when I saw it... But after I made a HDR photo of it, all the cool effects appeared. So that's the other side of HDR, you never know what will come out.

Greetings, Martyn.

yes. i do agree that HDR is a topic missed out here.
everyone shruggs and gives a lost look when HDR is mentioned.
thanks for posting this news to let others have more exposure to HDR.

Nice HDR features, I think they represent quite well the technique, and thank you for mentioning the Club ;)
~Sgt-Beeblebroxs:iconSgt-Beeblebroxs: Feb 21, 2008, 5:05:30 PM
I didn't realise that there was such a debate around HDR/tone mapping. My two cents would be; to use it as little as possible on an image, tone mapping that is. Hmmm...
