High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography allows you to produce a single image that contains the brightness range found in three or more individual exposures that vary in brightness. It is very useful when shooting under the mid-day sun when contrast can be rather extreme. A panorama will allow you to combine multiple images that overlap in content to create a single image that displays a much wider view than would fit into a single image. If you merge multiple raw files (as opposed to using JPEGs) into an HDR or panorama, then the end result will retain most of the special qualities of a raw file.
Note: This lesson does not have a PDF companion guide available. We include PDFs with all new lessons and will add them to lessons in our archive as time permits.
NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
