HDR Articles

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and is used to increase dynamic parts of a picture by merging three separate pictures with different exposures. You use a program to layer the pictures and filter them and almost always look fake. HDR doesn't have to look artificial. To take an HDR photo, you need a tripod (or a flat surface) because all three pictures have to be exactly the same in order for the merging to work correctly and to come out right. HDR is automatic. Avoid things such as halos, ghosts, noise, etc. Expect a lot of frustration when taking HDR photos.
