HDR-High Dynamic Resolution
The General
Regular
I'm going to write a very, very, very basic guide to HDR. HDR is High Dynamic Resolution. This is where your images are combined and makes the colors look stunning and gives your image a 3D effect.
To do HDR you take atleast 2 different pictures of the same subject just at different exposures and combine them. The most common is 3 different pictues with 3 different exposures and you combine the pictures in photoshop or if your oldschool and use film you combine them on the enlarger. When you combine the photo's is gives it a very 3D affect to it and will either be a stunning picture or a dud picture. Don't worry your first HDR is going to look like crap haha it takes some time to get down.
To combine them on photoshop you click file>merge photos>HDR>browse and select the photos. That's how it is on CS3 at least.
And obviously on the enlarger for film you just set the 3 film strips on top of eachother...
examples of HDR: (These are all real pictures)
