Photography is an amazing profession, one to awe, please and amaze the world. Today, we bring you a website which sports 60 purely amazing HDR and panoramic images.
Near the bottom of the page there are several ‘interactive’ images which you can pan through. They are 360 degree images, ‘mini-world’ images, and some things which are a bit abstract. Overall, we believe that the HDR images uptop are the best.
Many of the HDR’s are very well taken and edited. A top pick for us would be “Peggy’s Light”. Be sure to check it out.
For those of you who do not know, HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Since a normal camera sensor (or film) cannot capture the same amount of light (meaning the same range) as the human eye, a HDR image can be created. A HDR image is created by combining several images (with different light ranges) into one single image. For example, you can combine a dark image, normal image and a bright image to help you capture all the correct lights and shadows of the scene. Wikipedia has this to say about HDR imaging:
In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminances between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.[1]
A panoramic is several consecutive images stitched together to create a larger image (can be used to give the appearance of a wide angle lens). This can be an images going left to right, or up and down (and both sometimes). Great for capturing large nature areas (think: Grand Canyon), urban city spots and the like.
