Capturing the Heritage of Hackney

23-03-2007 Holophane commissioned us to photograph the recently refurbished Hackney churchyard gardens.

Since the area has been re-lit it is once again used at night as a pass through route by local people, due to the highly effective new lighting installation. Our brief was to capture the very uniform lighting effect and higher light level, including people in the shots to add scale and human context to the pictures.     more...

Top Tip of the month

23-03-2007 High Dynamic Range Imaging
This software technique can illustrate a range of brightness variations in one photograph, which is particularly important for lighting installations.

The software is quite complex to use at first and we have found that further work is needed in photoshop to really bring out the best of the HDR images but the effort is well worth while as the final results look very effective.

Below are examples of the before and after results of using HDR.     more...
