HDR
I have always liked high dynamic range (HDR) photos. There is a special camera which you are supposed to use to make these images or you can mimic it in photoshop using various techniques. You can fake it with 3 photos shot with 3 different exposures or with one photo and slapping a ton of different layer masks over it. This one I created using a bunch of masks. There is something a little off about it but I think it is pretty cool overall.
I am having a heck of a good time playing with all these effects. Â
