The newest photo trend, named High Dynamic Range or HDR photography is slowing picking up fans as it becomes integrated into cameras (the iPhone 4 and 4S models both have an HDR option built in), involves a series of photos, blended together to capture the best lighting and colors. On a manual DSLR, there are settings that allow you to take multiple photos in rapid succession at different exposure levels. These can be combined using photo editing software to create an image that can be both either surreal or with vivid colors and lighting. Since the Nikon DSLR I use (and my iPhone for that matter) both allow HDR photography, I’ve been experimenting. So far, I’m pleased with the results as a creative outlet. There are various options for output from black & white to painting, grunge or simply enhanced colors. Below are a few examples.
