One of the first things you learn as a photographer is that our cameras have a limited dynamic range. HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging is the process of combining a sequence of exposures, allowing you to lighten your underexposed areas and darken your overexposed areas to better simulate the contrast that your eye would actually see. HDR can enhance and improve your images, often adding drama and details.

You will see how to best choose subjects for HDR and how to merge exposures to enhance or add an illustrative effect to your photographs. Several methods will be demonstrated using both Photoshop and Photomatix to produce different results.
