If you are a novice digital photographer or someone who has been practicing digital photography for some time and would like to add stunning beauty and color to your photos, you may want to try High Dynamic Range photography. High Dynamic Range (or HDR) photography is a digital technique that lightens underexposed areas and darkens overexposed areas of your image. Using HDR photography techniques allows the viewer to see the image as if they are seeing it with the naked eye - with even lighting all over the portrait or landscape.
Digital photographers call the range of luminance of darkest to brightest the Dynamic Range, or DR. The darkest dark - black, to the lightest light - white are the two extremes that our human eye can see. In the digital photography world, Digital Dynamic Range refers to the range of light that the camera's lens can sense. Without changing the sensors on the camera or digitally altering the photograph, the camera lens can only pick up a fraction of what the human eye can see. Using HHDR photography uses a higher range of light values, allowing for more definition, more color and stunning photographs that show in detail the areas that would've been too dark or too light to show up on a regular photo. You can get a good sense of High Dynamic Range when looking at a scene outdoors in sunlight. The bright light and the shadows it creates on a landscape or setting encompasses many different light values, thereby making the DR high whereas a dimly lit room only has darker values of light, making it low.

When you understand HDR photography, you can begin to drastically improve your photos. Using HDR methods will add give stunning detail to lines of color or add drama to cloudy skyscapes and landscapes. Using a photo editor such as Photoshop, you can add filters and adjust the amount of exposure. Using filters and polarizers are a great way to bring areas of high contrast down to make your photograph more effective and striking. You can also retouch, saturate and desaturate the image to achieve the perfect result. There is endless possibility of what you can do with photographic post-editing with today's photographic editing software.
Professional or high-grade digital cameras have multiple stops of HDR on the lens. Set up a tripod and mount your camera and take multiple photographs at different exposures. Then you manipulate those photos in an editing program such as Photoshop to create one image that encompasses the highest brightness level with the lowest dynamic range exposure photograph that you have. Using the complete dynamic range of the camera through multiple photographs, you've created one photo that encompasses the complete dynamic range of the camera.
If you're looking to dramatize your shots and you have some digital photo-editing skill, try High Dynamic Range photography. The results will be stunning.
