You'll learn how to work through the processes that are needed to create a dramatic image, both before and after pressing the shutter. Practical HDR: Based in part on his popular book Practical HDR, David shows how to use HDR techniques to help capture a realistic natural look to your photos, or push beyond for a surreal/grungy style.
