HDR Photography 2: The HDRening

I’ve previously displayed some HDR shots on here before, and I took the opportunity yesterday to take some more. For the uninitiated, HDR photography involves taking multiple photos of a subject at different exposures, then blending the exposures together on a computer to create an image with a much higher dynamic range than is possible with a single image. All of these images were created from three exposures.

A lot of HDR images you’ll see have an intentional “otherworldly” quality to them - exaggerated in many regards. I try for a more realistic appearance.
