About Australia HDR

For all photographers to share their HDR photos taken in Australia. You don't have to be an Aussie photographer but as long as the photo was taken in Australia !

For those unsure of what HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography is, there is a plethora of information out there on the Internet, but basically it combines more than one image of the same scene, at varying intensities to create a photo with better handling of contrasting elements. These are then "tone-mapped" to create a representation of what the scene looks like. Sometimes the images can look quite realistic, other times they have a more computer-graphics look to them. However people choose to render their images it's all about creativity and fun.
