Rick Sammon's Realistic HDR World

Challenge #7 in the Mentors series. Hosted by Martin Ocando, Carlos U, Aleo Veuliah, Rick Sammon.

Challenge has finished

Hosted by Rick Sammon

Canon Explorer of Light, instructor and lecturer has written more than 36 books and has produced 10 iPad and iPhone apps.

Among other specialties, Rick teaches HDR Photography. But HDR have lots of flavors. For some is a special effect, but for many others, myself included, is the way of making the image look like we saw it, without resorting to graduated filters as was the only viable solution back in the film days.

Let's pay tribute to Rick with realistic HDR images.

For examples of HDR, check out Rick's blog at www.ricksammon.info or his iPad app: iHDR
