HDR Photography Technique

HDR is a powerful tool for creating an image from several exposures. It is used when you are shooting a subject that makes it impossible to capture shadow and highlight details all in one exposure. It is best used if you shoot on a tripod. It should be used to enhance and illustrate. Be sure your images don't have halos. It can create surrealist effects but be careful...do you want to be a one trick pony?
