First Attempt at HDR

[amandalee]

First of all thank you!

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. A camera sensor can only record about 5 stops (someone correct me if thats wrong, that number is from memory) of detailed difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image in a single exposure. With HDR photography you take many different exposure of a scene (In the cases above I did 5 different exposures with a 1 stop difference between them) and then use software to combine the exposures. This allows you to retain detail in the both the highlights and the shadows of your images. It is extremely useful in landscapes when the sky is several stops brighter than the land.

Hope thats helpful, if you have any other questions please ask

Awesome thanks for explaining that! I had no idea! I get the point tho! I will have to try this soon! Thanks for posting!
