How to maximize your chance of capturing the decisive moment?
One of the most frustrating things that can happen to a photographer is attempting to capture a moment, one with excellent lighting and an outstanding subject, only to discover afterwards that you have pushed the button just a little too early or a little too late. The anticipation and excitement quickly lead into the disappointment of knowing that you’ve just missed that “decisive moment”.

Use the burst mode function
The first thing that comes to mind is to use the burst mode function. Depending on your camera, you can greatly increase your chances of capturing that moment. However, this method is not full proof. Indeed, many cameras are either limited to the number of images they can take per second, or time restrictions, due to lack of memory.

Take videos…and never miss a moment!
How about recording a video and select the best moment afterwards? Now I know what you may be thinking, the extracted image will be of a poor quality and as a photographer, quality is not something that you are willing to sacrifice. That’s when HDRinstant comes into play!

Start capturing decisive moments
The process is very simple. Firstly, select the video that you would like to use. You then need to choose the frame that you wish to extract, decide how many of the neighboring frames you want to stack in order to produce the final image, then click compute and let the software work its magic. You can apply tone-mapping options on your HDR result within HDRinstant – if you are using the Standalone Version – or edit it with Lightroom – If you are using the Plugin Version.
