How to Increase the Dynamic Range of a Photo
Steve
Paxton writes, "There are times when it is impossible to capture
the entire dynamic range of a scene in a single image. Recently
I ran in into this problem during a short trip I made through a
beautiful farming valley. I found a lovely old shed and decided
to stop to take a photo. After securing permission from the
landowner I reached into my car to grab my camera equipment. It
was at that moment that I realized that I had forgotten to bring
my tripod with me."
