I recently joined a local camera club (Connecticut Valley Camera Club) and heard a brief discussion about High Dynamic Range imaging (HDR).  The speaker was talking about using this technique to eliminate the light glare that typically occurs when you are shooting a picture inside on a bright day and the outside light forces the camera sensor to under-expose the room resulting in a very dark interior.

This is an inside photo that illustrates the difference between a normal "auto-exposure" and an HDR process photo:

 "Normal" Interior Photo - note dark interior

 This technique also works with exterior photos as can be seen below (note washed out sky and bright washed out area on left side):

To learn more about HDR photography, just go to the HDR Photography Group on Active Rain - there's lots of good articles there to provide you with more insight into this remarkable technique.

Tip:  you need a camera that can easily make multiple exposures (typically -1, zero and +1 stops or more) and a TRIPOD IS A MUST. 

Then you will need a computer software program that can process the photos.  There are several available - I've used Photomatix available from HDRsoft at this web site: http://www.hdrsoft.com/ (approx. $99.00)

Check out their web site and let me know if you are impressed!
