Lets Get Ugly | Gavin Seim’s Flickr HDR Skit

by Gavin Seim: I decided it was time for some fun. And I really did have fun with this skit. I say ENOUGH of those ho hum screen casts explaining things we need to know. It’s time to do something revolutionary with photos. Lets get UGLY.

Really though. Lets remember HDR is NOT a style. It’s about light and managing it well. And once your done with this, you can find my real HDR videos right here. Or check out the EXposed Workshop and really take charge of the light.

Amaze your friends. Download the free Flickr HDR presets 😉

  1. Hehe! That´s hilarious m8!..:P
    I´ve seen some really good HDR-images done with lot´s of thinking and mindwork behind using up to 5-7 exposures…and I have also seen the dark side of HDR…and you´ve nailed that part alright! 😀
    I started down that road when I got my first DSLR…and stopped almost instantly because the results made me want to sell the camera. Now…I wont say that I´m not going to test it again…but I´ll definetly take the serious approach,. choose my object carefully, keep tweaking to a minimum – and keep my sanity. Have a good one m8!

  2. Very funny, and just a little scary 🙂 I think a know a “professional photographer” who has used these presets (on every shot, no less).

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
