High dynamic range imaging, or HDR, is a photographic and imaging technique/method set. This is a type of photography called Alternative photography. It allows for a much greater dynamic range in an image from its lightest and darkest aspects. Most cameras, being non-HDR, do not capture all the light details from the real life counterpart. They usually cannot capture the faint sunlight, vivid sunsets, bright, sunny weather, etc that is found in real life. Now, HDR technique doesn’t simply take the desired picture; instead, it takes multiple pictures and combines them using Photoshop. The photographer must take multiple pictures at varying exposure levels so the HDR will produce what is the final product. Basically any camera capable of taking over and under exposed pictures can be used with the High dynamic range photograph technique. With the rapidly growing popularity of this technique, many modern cameras are being made with built-n HDR features.

             Many forms of photography and photographic techniques are used to draw the viewer’s attention, and texture photography is one of those types of photography. If it is applied correctly, it will work just as well as depth of field and rule of thirds techniques. Detail, drama, and information are the three major categories. Detail is most commonly used as it is the most straightforward, focusing on the surface texture of the subject. Drama mainly means anything not focusing on the details specifically. Lastly, information is used when the photographer’s goal is to take a picture that will easily allow the viewer to identify the subject.
