Amazing Photography Technology by Tom Hanify

Ever try to photograph something only to find that either the bright areas are overexposed, or the dark areas don’t have any detail?  Well, High Dynamic Range software to the rescue. HDR software can select the dark and bright areas of multiple images and combine them into one photograph covering a wider exposure range than our most expensive cameras can capture.
This is a photograph of the Coupeville Wharf.  Notice that the wharf is well exposed. But the mountains are over exposed to the point that they can’t be seen.

Here is one that I exposed for the mountains that shows the mountains but underexposes the wharf.

​And here is the combined photograph (with a few enhancements).  More on enhancing photographs in a later blog.
