HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. This effect is achieved by taking 3 differently exposed images of a scene, overexposed, underexposed, and right in the middle. By fusing these different exposures into one image you get a broader range of highlights, shadows, and mid tones in the entire image, instead of in one correctly exposed area. This is the reason that you can see such detail in the clouds, which are much brighter, at the same time that you have a well exposed landscape. I think HDR is really interesting and am just starting to learn the ins and outs of this tool.
These are fun. They look like paintings. Love it.
