 “I’ve never done HDR photography before but have the software and so I decided to attend this session to learn the program’s capabilities. Matt certainly knew the program and conveyed this to the class members and I came away with a desire to try a HDR photograph and also knowing that a photo could look natural or unnatural/funky depending on how you choose to process it.” – Sue.

Learn how to process RAW files for HDR in Lightroom and Camera Raw.

What is HDR Photography? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, or as I like to call it: Highly Dramatic Results. By taking multiple exposures – ideally with the camera on a tripod – and using special software designed to combine the multiple exposures, you can take your photos to new levels of detail, tonal range, and creative expression.
