50 Incredible Examples of HDR Photography
HDR Photography, you either love it or hate it. I have read comments reflecting both sentiments and honestly I can understand both sides. A lot of HDR photography I have found really seems blown-out and way way to saturated and for the most part just plain ugly. This flavor of HDR photos I can do without. Then there is the well executed HDR image. Here we find beautiful dreamlike colors and tones, almost a magical quality to it.
Below I have examples of just that type of HDR photo. Enjoy.

September 23rdI love HDR – Beautiful images, enhanced, what’s wrong with that? I love the lights and darks, and the deep texture of the images.

September 25thWonderful images.
Everyone of them is stunning and beautiful, however I also noticed that all but a very few have that HDR look, where things are just a little bit unreal, but maybe it’s just me and my inner aesthetic hasn’t quite adapted to the new capabilities the technique provides.
Regardless these images are all excellent.

Visit this flickr group. You will find your answers there. Basically you will have to work from one RAW image and create several bracketed exposures from it to produce your HDR image. -

October 6thGreat photos, but you can’t do proper a HDR set without including Trey Ratcliff from http://www.StuckinCustoms.com. His stuff is fantastic!!

November 16thI really don’t like HDR. Too many people just over do it. Looks fake to me most of the time. If you are going to try it, don’t go over +/- 0.3 stop either way.

December 6thto me some it looks like bad illustration. just looks too artificial, colors saturation are too high. I think some are just over done.
I think is good technique just got to do tastefully. judgment is as important as technique.
Good luck -

December 9thstunning examples!! ’tis true, most either love or hate it. I am of the funny kind that loves the natural-looking ones as well as those that push the boundaries some.
I agree – you’ll have to include Trey Ratcliffe from Stuckincustoms.
have a look at my “Southern Africa in HDR” blog…
just click on my name…:) -

December 29thYou know, I like some of the pictures here and thank you. But, I’m not sure that they are “high dynamic range”. HDR requires several exposures. Some of these have movement that would not make for HDR.
It’s great that techniques are now availible to all (at a cost) but attempt to capture tha picture i the camera without relying on what “photoshop” can do.
Some pretty ordinary compositions here that have been worked for an unreal result.
Composition and use of light wins everytime.
Have a great new year.
