HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography is a technique that is becoming very popular at the moment, an HDR photo is created using software such as Photoshop or Photomatix and produces images with more detail in the highlights and shadows. Here we dug out the best tutorials and resources to help you get to grips with it.
First off, lets have a look at the sort of images you can produce with this technique :
Stunning aren’t they ? You can view more examples here.
Now lets find out how to achieve the effect…

Next you will need the software to create the images :
And finally a camera capable of shooting in Raw mode :
One note: it’s a myth that you need a camera capable of shooting in RAW mode to make HDR photographs. Photomatix software accepts .jpg and .tiff images, and I’ve made many an HDR image without RAW files.

HDR is the future of photography. I shoot golf mostly. Tiger Woods is the future of golf. Tiger Woods hired me today.
I guess that makes you a futuristic golf photographer.
Thanks for the list. HDR is great and if used properly can produce amazing photos. However, I’ve seen photos with too much details and it’s just abusive and distraction to the eyes.
