(optional) “High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is a process of combining multiple exposures to record the entire range of tones. Photographers shoot a series of exposures of a scene and then use programs like Photomatix Pro and HDR Effect Pro to process the images. HDR is popular with commercial photographers, such as architectural photographers, who use HDR to help them create realistic images of buildings to record the scene much the way our eyes would. Fine art photographers use the HDR process to push textures and colors in creative directions to create images that are different than a standard
exposure.
