Santa Monica, CA, Pacific Park, Pier _6FPS from David Zanzinger on Vimeo.

HDR High Dynamic Range

Boardwalk Pier, 5 exposures Photomatix, hand held. A little overdone in post for Grundge effect.

RMS Queen Mary Bridge, 3-exp. +2, N, -2 , ambient light, photomatix, tone mapped, windows masked, clouds and sky added on separate layer. Added contrast in LR2, PS3 saturation

HDR Photomatix, 5 images on tripod. Used compact bare fluorescent daylight bulbs to separate and highlight wall furniture. Trying to figure a way to shoot and process fast for real estate. The shadows on back wall were intentional. Painted light with a high beam flashlight and moved it on each exposure for effect...... 15 minutes shooting, 30 minutes post.

Three exposures, +2, N, -2 , ambient light, photomatix, tone mapped. A little overdone in post for Grundge effect, LR2 and PS3

Three exposures, +2, N, -2 , ambient light, photomatix, tone mapped, LR2 and PS3

High Dynamic Range (HDR)

A post-processing of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed.
When faced with a lighting situation that requires detail inside and outside of an interior HDR is one quick way to handle it.

Three different exposures are made of the same subject by using a tripod and bracketing +2, N, -2 then combined, tone mapped, in a post processing software, here I use Photomatix Pro 3.2. were adjustments are made to enhance the image.

Photoshop CS3 also has a "merge to hdr" feature as well as many new products on the market.

Wikipedia: Stock photography consists of existing photographs that can be licensed for specific uses. Publishers, advertising agencies, graphic artists, and others use stock photography to fulfill the needs of their creative assignments.

A customer who uses stock photography instead of hiring a photographer can save time and money, but can also sacrifice creative control. Stock images can be presented in searchable online databases, purchased online, and delivered via download or email.

A collection of stock photography may also be called a photo archive, picture library, image bank or photo bank. As modern stock photography distributors often carry stills, video, and illustrations, none of the existing terminology provides a perfect match.
