HDR Photography

For lack of a better place to start, I will introduce a form of photography I have always been interested in. High Dynamic Range photography is a way to capture an image that will have detail in the highlights and in the shadows when either may be too extreme to capture in a single exposure in detail. The link above to Cambridge in Colour is a very good article describing what it is, how to do it and when it should and should not be used. I took a lot away from this article especially within the area of when not to use HDR. I have always been attracted to this kind of photography because of its wide range of colors and sometimes almost psychedelic look but after reading the article. I learned that there are some instances that one gains a lot from using this technique, and yet others where a graduated neutral density filter is all that is needed to make the exposure.

Here are 50 Examples of HDR Photography from thephotoargus.com
