At the moment I am looking into a photography technique called 'HDR photography'. HDR stands for: High Dynamic Range and is used to create these amazing photos where the exposure is perfect.
For instance, when you take a photo from under a bridge, really, you want to have a good exposure on the bridge itself and of the landscape/clouds. However, when you take a normal shot of this you can either get the clouds overexposed and the bridge perfectly lit, or the other way around.
This is where HDR comes in:
If you want a perfect exposure on every object on the photo you will have to take 3 separate photos. One with underexposure so the clouds will come out nice, one with overexposure to get the bridge well lit, and one with standard exposure so that you can get all the detail out of the scene.
Eventually what you'll do is put all these three photos together in a program like 'Photomatix' and then you'll get the perfect image.
I'm really quite stupid for posting this right this second because I don't have any of these photos right now but I will go out and shoot some this afternoon. So check out my blog in a few hours and I will show you the process of shooting HDR photos.
So, see this as an introduction. :)
