Sometimes not even the best camera settings can guarantee that your photos won’t have an overexposed sky or underexposed land. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to fix this problem: HDR.

Many photographers are afraid to shoot facing the sun, for fear of either damaging their camera or producing ugly photos. But if all goes well, you can get remarkable backlit photos.

The sky is too bright, and the ground is too dark. That’s a classic problem in landscape photography. You can overcome it with help from HDR. Just take differently exposed photos and join them together. Take a look at how.

The term multiple exposure or “multi-exposure” is fairly broad. It means joining multiple photos into one, no matter why or how. The ability to join multiple exposures into a single picture can be put to many uses. I’ll show you one of those uses in today’s article.

Dynamic range is a term often used when describing scenes, reviewing cameras, and exorcising a variety of photographic demons. But there’s nothing supernatural about it. By understanding how it works and learning to work with it as you shoot, you can prevent overexposed and underexposed scenes.

One common photographic subject—especially for portraits—is senior citizens. Portraits of seniors look good. With edits, they can look even better. In this article, we’ll look closely at one of these edits: HDR editing.

Creating HDR images is quite easy—you just lay the source photos down on top of each other (or get some software to do it for you). And the results from HDR can be surprising. So in this article we’ll be taking a look at how to create and edit HDR images using Zoner Photo Studio.

If you’ve ever done landscape photography, then you know the situation where your sensor’s dynamic range isn’t big enough for the dynamic range of the scene. In plain English: you can only get detail in the dark tones if you’re willing to sacrifice it in the light tones—in other words, to accept a washed-out sky—or vice versa: detailed bright tones at the cost of dark tones that all blend into pure black. There’s a solution: HDR.
