HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photos

High dynamic range (HDR) images enable photographers to record a greater range of tonal detail than a given camera could capture in a single photo. This opens up a whole new set of lighting possibilities which one might have previously avoided—for purely technical reasons. The new "merge to HDR" feature of Photoshop CS2(normally i use Photomatix lah..) allows the photographer to combine a series of bracketed exposures into a single image which encompasses the tonal detail of the entire series. There is no free lunch however; trying to broaden the tonal range will inevitably come at the expense of decreased contrast in some tones. Learning to use the merge to HDR feature in Photoshop CS2 or Photomatix can help you make the most of your dynamic range under tricky lighting—while still balancing this trade-off with contrast.

Here are some shot that i've taken and turn it into HDR. Sorry if my photos not that good. By the way, im still learning too.

St.Joseph Cathedral

This is the only shot taken with my Canon 350D and turn it to HDR. I use up to 6 different exposure shot to create this. This is one of my 1st attempt..

The Sarawak Muzeum( one of my favourite )

One of my 1st shot for HDR with Nikon D300.
Taken early in the morning and I love the colour of the sky.
