High Dynamic Range photography is a relatively new technique to solve a very old problem in photography. It can be very difficult to get a good exposure with only one image, so HDR uses multiple images at different exposure settings and combines them all. To better illustrate this, look at the example on this page. Look under "When to use HDR." It would be impossible to get an exposure that would let you see inside the arch and outside with only one image, so in that case, the photographer uses three. Sometimes you might use more than that, and in many of the examples below, that is the case.

Examples of HDR photography:

This is the image that got me interested in HDR.
Flickr Group for HDR. Flickr is Yahoo's photography sharing site.
17 amazing HDR photos. From 17 Things.
HDR Photography from It's Knuttz
Trey Radcliff's HDR photography. From HaHa.nu
And if that's not enough beauty for you to look at, how about 100,000+ images from Flickr.

This post will be updated with my own HDR photography, just as soon as I get around to doing some.
