HDR Photography Beginners Guide - How to Create Realistic HDR Photos

In this beginner's guide to HDR photography tutorial, I explain what HDR is, why you should use it, how to capture the HDR photo series, and how to process it to achieve realistic and natural results.

The Aurora HDR software isn't available anymore but its HDR engine is included in the subscription of https://bit.ly/Luminar-NEO (ATNEO gives a discount on the subscription) All the concepts of the video of how to create HDR images are still relevant.

Essentially HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography is the act of photographing a high contrast scene with a range of exposures and then combining those photographs into one image that contains the full range of brightness values. When done well, this results in a photo that better resembles what we saw with our own eyes when we captured the shot.

HDR has justifiably had a bad rap due to some photographer's heavy-handed approach. But in this video, I show how a beginner HDR photographer can quickly achieve realistic effects with ease.
