High Dynamic Range(HDR) Photography is something that has really sparked my interest recently so I thought I would share a little bit about it. The technique consists of taking multiple pictures of the same thing with a range of exposures and then layering them on top of each other. In order to do this, you need a camera that is able to adjust EV (exposure value) settings and some kind of HDR software (I have been using Photomatix). Here is a Youtube video that describes the process very well.

After the necessary processing, a well done HDR image is trully breathtaking. Seeing the scene from every possbile exposure gives it a very surreal feel and often looks more like a painting than a picture.
