What is HDR?

According to smashingmagazine.com: "HDR imaging is a set of techniques that allows a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows. This is usually achieved by modifying photos with image processing software for tone-mapping."

Please note that you must be a CAP member to attend these workshops. CAP dues is just $8 for the year!
