High Dynamic Range photography (HDR)

High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is the process of taking several images (I used 3) at different shutter speeds and combining them into a single photo that contains no washed out or underexposed/overexposed areas. The result is a surreal, almost too perfectly lit photograph that contains a high level of detail throughout the image.
