So I’m a photography major here at UIC and I had never heard of this. HDR or High Dynamic Range photography. Apparently what the photographer does is takes several pictures of the same shot,(I’m assuming this works best at night) and all different exposures. Then using Photoshop you overlay all these images to get a single picture of all the exposures to create an “fantasy realism” look to your work. Check out this link to get a sample of what downtown Tokyo looks like using HDR. You can bet I’m going to try this when I get home tonight! http://flickr.com/photos/altus/322152193/ To learn more about HDR this is the website I am using http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/high-dynamic-range.htm
