Another nice sunset so I decided to try something completely off the wall. I took pictures in Pro HDR, True HDR and HDR3. I also have some in KitCam, Pure Shot, Hipstamatic and Oggl. I will put up the HDR images. I tried getting the settings as close to the same between them. I left all three in auto mode and let each app pick the exposure points. Ie trying to see the difference between the apps. All were taken one right after the other to minimize light changes at sunset.
Pro HDR

First thing I noticed was how much brighter and more yellow it was. Easy to tell this one because its screen is slightly different aspect ratio then the others, the house on the right side is clipped off.
True HDR

At lot more colour and as I mentioned screen aspect is wider than Pro HDR
HDR3

This one was a bit of a surprise, much flatter looking then the other two almost like the saturation is lower although I tried to get all the settings the same. I think a lot of the difference is also how the app picks exposure points so next will be to try manual and set them as close to the same as I can.
I thought it was an interesting comparison, what do you peeps think?
Thinking about getting Camera Dream. Any idea what resolution it shoots at? I couldn't find any info in the App store. Thanks Larry26 May 2013 Sunset
All HDR3 bumped saturation a touch, dropped brightness a touch, the image is very close to what I can see. The second picture is run through CamDream and not touched otherwise. Quite like the Orton Effect!

I must make people think I'm a bit off my rocker. I take my lawn chair outside our front door, set up the tripod with the iPad. One couple walked past and I overheard the lady ask the guy with her "what's he watching?" Comment on it's own is innocent enough but it's the tone of her voice most are quite friendly...
My next door neighbour made me real jealous today. They just picked up a '79 MGB. Beautiful car and one I have lusted over for many years. Run's, drives, body is really nice condition, interior needs the seats to be recovered and he was working on brakes this afternoon. He thinks one axle seal is seeping a little so will get the parts and fix it. He already has a early TR6, a 60’s Midget that he has been welding new body panels on, then it goes to get repainted and he has a Spitfire that is waiting to be restored! Will try and get some pics of the new toy...
I have all the real HDR apps but one, by real I mean the ones that take multiple images and blend them together. One of my projects is to take basically the same images with the lot of them so people will be able to see how they compare. All of these I wanted the settings as close to the same as I could get and exposure was auto. In most cases I much prefer setting exposure points myself but to be fair I felt I would leave it to the app. Sometimes it surprises me how different the apps exposure points are but part may be that some take 2, some 3 and I have 1 that takes 4 (unfortunately with that app it only has auto and not manual mode). The other thing I want to do is take bracketed shots (I will use Pure Shot) and load them into the apps that let you use library shots but in almost all cases they only use 2 images, not sure why it takes three but the library it uses two but it's the way it is. I may buy the last real HDR that I am missing but will see, as it is I have 14 apps to compare.I really like the True HDR version. It has that 'emotional zing' for me, and the sky color at upper left really makes it for me. Also the exposure seems to be more balanced, although I would play around with it and tweak it some more. Terrific comparison shots and wonderful and informative stuff your doing here Larry!
Full device, or at least on my iPad it's full resolution.Thinking about getting Camera Dream. Any idea what resolution it shoots at? I couldn't find any info in the App store. Thanks Larry
Seeing the pictures I thought, "Sure would be interesting to see a Hipstamatic timelapse". Of course, a quick Google search showed me some. Remarkable patience - I prefer being able to set it up and let it go rather than hitting the shutter every 15-20 seconds. I'm lazy that way.I took over a hundred pictures thinking back what I should have done is made a Timelapse movie with images about 15-20 seconds apart, could have been interesting but at the time I never thought of it

Here are originals on Dropbox, lets see what you abstracters can come up with...... Could be interesting. The second on I thought might make an interesting texture for another pic and I will try it sometime
The blurry ones could be a great base for an abstract!
