What is HDR?
A simple way to describe what High Dynamic Range photography is, is to imagine merging the tonal range of 2 or more photos in order to make a single “detailed rich” final image.
So, for example, a photographer frames his shot and takes 2 to 3 photos of the same subject, however, each photo is set at a different exposure. Traditionally this is known as bracketing.
Bracketing provides the necessary data for a wider spectrum of colour ranges for the photo artist to play with, and therefore able to more readily achieve a highly detailed output.
The example above, by professional photographer Serge Ramelli, demonstrates this beautifully. And together with HDR Merge, photographers can now more readily create highly detailed HDR images to add to their portfolio of work.
HDR Without Bracketing?
Using Luminar software, you can reveal hidden detail within a single image, and all without the need for bracketing.
Luminar HDR Merge
HDR involves the layering of the same photo composition shot at different exposures or other settings and merging them together.
