In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminances between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.

This photograph was taken in a clear night sky from the northern coast of Honduras. The moon was particularly bright and there were no clouds whatsoever blocking the sky. Using a zoom lens, I took three photos to complete the HDR set and later combined them in Photoshop and played with the curves to come up with a sharp and detailed shot.
These photographs were taken from a hill looking out towards a 6pm sunset using a wide angle lens. HDR techniques were used to gather the shot and then they were retouched and recolored in Photoshop. Cropped using the rule of thirds and the golden mean.
