HDR or High Dynamic Range imaging is a technique that allows a greater dynamic and wide range of luminances between light (direct sunlight) and dark areas (shadows) of a scene more than normal digital imaging can produce. It is also the process of taking several exposures consisting of a normal, under-exposed and over-exposed shots, and merging them together into one composite HDR image retaining all interesting details from all three exposures.

Here are 9 good tutorials I’ve found online which may be useful to those who’d like to experiment with it. Most people either use Photoshop or Photomatix to go around doing it. The following tutorials have a good mix of both. See which suits your taste best.
