Inspiration To High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography

HDR images are composed of multiple shots that each capture a greater or lesser range of light. Typically these images are composed of a darker image, a medium range, and a lighter image. HDR combines these shots into a final image that has a broader range of light to dark. Often, the results are striking, visually rich, and full of details. Let’s take a look at some great HDR images, tutorials on how to create HDR, and articles that explain this popular technique.
