Stunning HDR Pictures

 

HDR is short for High Dynamic Range-technique. Digital Designers can create incredibly beautiful digital pictures blurring our sense of the difference between reality and illusion. These are some of the coolest HDR pictures that have been created using this technique.

 

In graphics HDR imaging is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows.

 

This is usually achieved by modifying photos with image processing software for tone-mapping. And the results can be really incredible; in fact, many artists and designers come up with some pretty fancy results.

The red moon one is a long telephoto shot during a total lunar eclipse, assuming it's not a 'shop. I doubt it's a 'shop; getting the color and illumination gradient across the Moon correct is difficult.

One thing about pictures of rainbows is that they can contain more information about the camera/lens system than you realize at first. And, of course, it's among the harshest tests for your image display system as well.

Strange, there are several pictures in there twice. But from that page, I wonder if this is where Milton Bradley got the idea for HeroScape:
