This is a collection of pieces of advice to make your everyday photos more enjoyable to look at; a little more with every post. These are only bits which do not claim to be complete, but are rather all you need to know at that moment.


I assume my readers are non-professionals who are interested in capturing their memories in the way they have experienced them, instead of how their camera device automatically suggests an output, thereby speaking of using anything from a mobile phone to an auto-set DSLR.

Blending multiple exposures

stefantueshaus responding to this question by Richard Marks:

»I have been attempting to blend multiple exposures lately, but I have not been able to find a suitable tutorial or explanation online. Could you possibly explain how to create an image of multiple exposures, such as this one by pattpoom on flickr?«

The easiest way of putting several, different exposures together to one picture is using Photoshop’s HDR-tool. You just open Photoshop click File > Automate > Merge to HDR (maybe it is called a little different, I’m just translating from the German version).

Now you can choose the folder with your differently exposed pictures (RAW files only!) and Photoshop will put them together automatically. In the next step you have a little preview of what the picture will look like and the different pictures it’s built from on the left side. By clicking the little box next to the pictures you can choose which ones should be part of the result, you can see the changes in the preview window. Some tweaks are possible.

+ Read a tutorial about another way to do this on Photoshop Support.
