Most of my posts will be pediatric medical educational.  If that also interests you, check back within the week for my next post.

I think that the appeal of HDR is that it more closely approximates in 2D the full range of light that  the human eye actually sees.  That is, if you look at a wall with a window in it, you can see, simultaneously, and in proper exposure, the wall and surrounding room AND the scene beyond the window.  The human eye sends the brain proper exposure data for the entire dynamic range of light – high dynamic range.

The HDR photographic technique merges several images taken with different exposures (usually; it CAN be done with a single exposure) into a single image.  It compresses the high dynamic range into a single image, a bit like the human eye.  It has become more common lately due to the ease with which multiple exposures can be taken of one scene by the newer digital cameras, and due to the availability of several very cool software programs that merge these images.

Well, regardless of the technique, here are some amazing images:

Most of these sites were introduced to me by @2cre8, @cindyvriend, and @ruhanirabin (follow them all on Twitter) – thanks so much for the intros.

I wish that I had taken most of these photographs.  As always, I seem to prefer the HDR (high dynamic range) effect.  Still have not (yet) grown tired of it.

Thanks for visiting.  I will put up a med education post in a couple days (back to the same old …), but I think that I will make posting lists of inspiring and breath-taking photography talent a regular.  So see you here again.  RF
