Tug Boats Portsmouth, NH

This is an example of a black and white HDR image as discussed in the previous post. Since this was captured at dawn in very low light (note the lights on the boats), a single exposure of this subject would have lost much of the detail. A tripod is essential for this type of situation.

This is an example of an HDR (high dynamic range) image which combines several images employing a variety of exposures. The intent is to preserve detail and color intensity in this high contrast image that would have been lost in a single exposure. . The HDR process is actually not difficult. However, the skill is involved in the tone mapping where the details and color are coaxed out. The challenge of HDR images is to avoid the "grunge" look unless of course that is your intention.
