15 Beautiful HDR Photography Art

What is HDR Photography?

By Paul Lee

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. The purpose is to extend the dynamic range of digital imaging technologies. What does that mean? It means the range of color and what is visible to the normal eye is shown and mixed together using a variety of exposure shots. As a result you get beautiful pictures with very fine detail top to bottom, normally unseen through normal photography techniques.

We will post an explanation and tutorial on HDR photography on a later post! For now enjoy these 15 Beautiful HDR photos. Let us know what you think in the comments section!

Beautiful, Stunning HDR Photography & Images

The beauty of HDR photography is the ability to reveal the fine details of a photo. This shot is a wonderful example as you can see the fine cracks in walkway and the worn wood walls of the doorway. Also notice the fine details in the plants and the clouds. Overall an amazing picture.

HDR Photography Images: Cathedral Windows
HDR Photography seems magical because the utilization of multiple exposures allows the details to shine out from the shadows. Notice all the small details on the walls in the shadows of this room. It also allows details to be crisp where normally it would be too bright such as the intricate windows. All is seen in one HDR photograph. Wonderful.

      Good Question. I would imagine it could be…
