Tonight I attempted to experiment with what is commonly known as HDR. Now, although it is a three-letter word, it is nothing like what is commonly referred to as PCP. in the photography arena, HDR stands for High-Dynamic Range. You see, film / digital cameras can only capture so many tones. This is the reason that many times when you photograph someone or something and the sky is in the background, it turns white with no detail; it simply cannot capture beyond a certain tonal range. HDR takes multiple exposures, at both ends of the tonal range, and merges them together for one image that looks somewhat surreal. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful with my HDR, however, I did capture this image of the lake on our family property. It seems that I have been consumed by sunsets ... hmm.
