High Dynamic Range Photography

December 25th, 2008

High dynamic range (HDR) photography has been around for many years.  Lately with the explosion of photography along with being able to edit photography with Photoshop, people have been producing more HDR imagery than ever before.

What is HDR? The theory behind HDR is that it tries to accurately represent the wide range difference in tonal properties in an image from bright highlights to dark shadows.  In producing HDR imagery, the user would create a composite of multiple exposures and combine these layers in a way to accurately represent the true tonalities of the image.  It was difficult to do in the past however with Photoshop and point and shoot cameras, this is easily accomplished.  HDR imagery when done correctly makes for beautiful images that would one normally see with their own eyes.
