High Dynamic Range Photography

High Dynamic Range Photography, (HDR Photography), is a technique that realizes many of the potential advantages that are inherent with digital photography. While digital cameras have only a slight advantage over film in having the ability to record a wide range of light to dark areas in a scene, the fact is that the digital images they record are much easier to manipulate than film originals.

The technique is to record a range of exposures with the digital camera, then to use specialized software to combine that range into a single image. This technique replaces the need to control the dynamic range of a scene with fill lighting. Reducing the need to provide fill lighting throughout an entire scene greatly reduces the time required on location.

Even for exteriors, where time of day has always been a big factor, the window of opportunity becomes much wider with the use of HDR technique. The images below demonstrate the use of HDR as well as the use of software to correct for lens and perspective distortion.
