Amazing HDR Image Of Tokyo Nightscape
HDR, or high dynamic range imagery is a relatively new concept that is taking the photography world by storm. These hyper-realistic images are actually composites of multiple photos or images that are combined in digital imaging software to extend the dynamic range of the subject in a manner that is similar to the way a human eye sees. The shadows, midtones and highlights all show breathtaking detail.
The techniques used to produce these images have been around for some time, but advances in software, hardware and some heavy-hitting plugs from leading tech resources have turned HDR into quite the fad in the last year. The image above is a picture of the Tokyo nightscape taken using multiple exposures from a high end digital SLR camera and composed using image editing software. The actual process involves something called tone-mapping which converts the image into a file that can be displayed on something less dynamic, such as a computer monitor.
