HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography is a fairly new concept, and I've decided to experiment with it. An HDR image is made up of 3 exposures of the same picture - 1 underexposed, 1 right on, and 1 overexposed. Then, you use photoshop to merge these 3 photos, and make a couple adjustments. This process allows the end product to have details in the shadow and highlight areas. It is very popular right now. When done correctly, the images are stunning! However, in my opinion, it is sometimes very overdone, and the image can look unrealistic - almost illustrated. Which is great if that's the look you're going for.
It is very important to use a sturdy tripod, so all 3 pictures are exactly the same. On my first attempt, I used a tripod, but I still ended up with pics that were'nt exactly the same. So, the grass spears ended up duplicated, and another image ended up blurry. Next time, I'll use a tripod and a shutter release cord.
