HDR Flower

My second try on HDR Photograpy. Quite good now than the first. I choose to maintain the natural look of the flower except that the background got darker.

My first HDR Photograph. An HDR image made from three exposures and tone mapped into an 8-bit JPEG image.

What is HDR Photography?

High dynamic range imaging, or HDR, is the latest challenge for those who are serious about digital photography. But with that challenge comes an opportunity to expand skills and repertoire into exciting new areas.

HDR, originally developed for use with computer-generated images, captures the full range of tones in a scene, reproducing human perception down to the finest detail without lens flare, burnout, or underexposure.

Mastering High Dynamic Range Photography explains exactly how to shoot specifically for HDR, and how to use the new software that lets the photographer combine several images into one glowingly accurate final photo. Step-by-steps and sample photographs reveal how to apply these techniques to many different genres, producing results that are part photograph, part work of art.
