Some photographs look more or less the same in HDR with perhaps a few specular highlights growing lighter, the photograph looking maybe a tad more lifelike than before. Infrared photographs, however, seem born for HDR. The white of the photographs, indicative of a high degree of IR reflectivity, comes alive with the new highlight headroom.

To experiment with this I made a few snapshots in IR (720nm) and adjusted them to a full range of tones.

(New to HDR or do you think that the HDR I’m talking about has something to do with merging multiple photographs of the same subject at different exposures? If so please read my other post on HDR and see my SDR/HDR comparison video for an introduction to this exciting new possibility in still photography.)

As before, to get around the various technical limitations present at this particular time, I’m posting the first set of five images for people using the Safari browser, then a second set of those same images for those readers using the Opera or Chrome browsers. Hopefully, I will soon be able to post just a single set of images for all browsers.
