Welcome to the home of ProHDR — the professional resource site on HDR photography.
If you want to know everything about High Dynamic Range photography, then you are at the right place. This website and accompanying blog will show you, step-by-step, how attention grabbing HDR images are made.
HDR photography is cutting edge technology. And it’s important. Here’s why.
Light. Ever since the dawn of photography, photographers have struggled with the problem of light. Neither film nor digital sensors can capture the full dynamic range of light. Often photographers have to sacrifice the highlights to capture the shadow detail. Or they sacrifice the shadow details to capture the highlights.
Before digital photography and way before software was created to allow high dynamic range photography, I worked as an architectural photographer. It would take hours to light a room and to balance the light of the interior with that of the outside light. Now I can achieve a perfect balance quickly with HDR photography, and without any lights. I’ll show you examples.
In landscape photography, so many times a photographer will capture a beautiful vista, but the sky will be washed out. Sky details are important. They add drama. With HDR, you never have to sacrifice a sky again.
By taking multiple photographs of the same scene at different exposures, you can create HDR images. All you then need is the software that can tone map these images, to bring all of these exposure values into a coherent image that the monitor can display.
This makes possible the impossible. The most challenging lighting situations are suddenly handled with ease. And the images can be as realistic or as surrealistic as you want. I’ll show you how.
