HDR digital camera
From Makers Local 256
Overview
I want a digital SLR camera that somehow reads from the CCD multiple times in one exposure in order to obtain a bracketed shot without needing a tripod or supernaturally steady hand. Possibly, these images could then be combined automatically into a single HDR image before storage to the memory card.
Obstacles
- I lack the knowledge to do this kind of hardware myself.
- Finding parts, especially CCDs, is difficult without just buying entire digital cameras and disecting them.
- Consequently, documentation may be scarce as well.
- The exposure information on a CCD actually moves across the CCD as it is read, causing continuous exposure and reading difficult.
- There must be some sort of a reasonable solution or workaround to this problem.
Help Wanted
I would need to work with somebody for this one, preferably somebody that knows more about interfacing with chips and circuitry than I do. An interest in photography would probably be good to keep from losing interest.
