HDR Photography

Good Morning and Happy Sunday Everyone, sorry this is a bit late it’s been a busy week with the start of my new class Digital Image Illustration.  Today I wanted to touch briefly on HDR photography, I am sure many of you have seen this type of photography and thought WOW that looks so realistic or maybe just thought it looked cool.  "The Definition for HDR or High Dynamic Range is a digital photography technique whereby multiple exposures of the same scene are layered and merged using image editing software to create a more realistic image, or a dramatic effect. The combined exposures can display a wider range of tonal values than what the digital camera is capable of recording in a single image." (Chastain). There are many ways to get the desired look of HDR; you can use Photoshop, Lightroom or a separate program that is designed just for this look. I like to use Lightroom to achieve this effect it find it easy and if you have any issues its an easy fix, there are also many presets that are available to help you get that awesome look.

Below are a few photos that I have been working on with the HDR look, these were all done in Lightroom.
