25 Brilliant HDR Photography

I’ve seen a lot of sites that showcasing stunning and breathtaking HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography lately and I’m really impressed with all these incredibly nice images. Me, myself who is also a shutterbug is really looking forward to try out and apply these set of techniques onto my photography.

So what actually is HDR and why is this HDR images makes so big difference from normal digital imaging techniques? Below is a short definition that I grabbed from cambridgeincolour.com.

High dynamic range (HDR) images enable photographers to record a greater range of tonal detail than a given camera could capture in a single photo.  This opens up a whole new set of lighting possibilities which one might have previously avoided—for purely technical reasons.  The new “merge to HDR” feature of Photoshop allows the photographer to combine a series of bracketed exposures into a single image which encompasses the tonal detail of the entire series.

There are lots of tutorial that you could find that teach you how to shoot and apply HDR to your images and produce stunning result. Maybe I should try to gather some of the best tutorials online and share with you.
