basic idea is simple: take several images of the same scene (with a tripod) using different exposures -- i.e. expose for shadows, expose for midtones, expose for highlights. Then combine them in Photoshop. This is ok for landscape and light houses but not for people and
sailboats.
many people are experimenting with 20-stops of data "smooshed" into
the normal 256 layers -- the result of which is often bizarre and
surreal.
The current chair of the local photo club has used the HDR in Photoshop CS2
to create a picture that has heavy black emphasized detail which some
people can't stand. I think if he just prints the picture four times wider the
detail will look normal and quite sharp.
