High Dynamic Range

High Dynamic Range Imaging also know as HDRI or HDR creates an image that looks more brighter, clearer, and more creative.  The correct definition for HDR is a "set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques".  It starts with taking three of the same photo, the first one is dark, second one is normal and the third one is light and all merge in together with using photoshop.   With taking one of these photos, with photoshop you can either make them look darker or more brighter.  

Taxi, New York by Tonist L
This example of HRD of a Taxi in New York caught my eye when  I was looking up HDR because it was very bright and very appealing.  I love the look of the buildboards, how they are extremely bright in the front and dark and gloomy in the back as well as the sky looks amazing.  

Lamborghini Gallardo by Robert Himler 

I love the look of this photo because it shows the unique qualities of the sky and how bright it is.  When I look at this photo it just looks so magical more than the original would look like.  It was taken with 5 exposures(-2,-1, 0, +1, +2).  Also the Gallardo just makes the photo complete.   

Ciryscape of Girona Spain by Unknown

This photo of the lake shows the brightness of the sky, also expanding more of the lake with a brighter reflection.  I love the look of the branches that hover over the photo and just overall its a very bright photo where as there isn't much darkness in the photo where there is in a HDR photo.   

David Walking by Katie Brown

For my HDR, I took a photo of David walking towards the field.  When I edited this photo, it became more brighter and made it stand out more.  Doing this made the photo look 100 times better than the normal photo looked like. It also looks like he is walking into the light.  All together, I think this HDR turned out great.
