High Dynamic Range photography is the process of taking several pictures of a scene at various exposures, then merging them into one file. So the entire photo can look crisp and detailed, from highlights to midtones to shadows—and photographers needn’t sacrifice any part of their image. And the best way to master this exciting technology is with this thorough, easy-to-follow, and visually spectacular guide. No other title does justice to these cutting-edge techniques, which actually take the viewer into worlds far beyond normal photography—sometimes even beyond normal human perception. Ferrell McCollough, a widely respected photographer, pushes the boundaries and inspires others to pursue their artistic vision, too. The amazing results simply can’t be achieved any other way. Review: Absolutely Excellent Book - I like this book so much I purposely logged on to desertcart just to write this review. First the pictures are all gorgeous. And what's even better, they are all very instructive. The text is well written and easy to understand. I'm just at the dabbling stage of using HDR, but I sure see the potential. With a compact Sony DSLR I took 3 bracketed exposures at -1, 0 and +1 stops of a butterfly that had emerged from the chrysalis. This wasn't really even an HDR scene, since the contrast was pretty low anyway. I downloaded the trial version of Photmatix Pro (which is excellently described throughtout the book) and processed the images into one. The detail in the chrysalis was far above what I got doing adjustments to the single image in Photoshop Elements 8. The butterfly looked a little brighter in PE8, but overall the HDR image had a burnished glow like finely polished old brass. HDR photography and the processing are for the serious amateur on up. The book makes it easy to understand, but the execution takes some effort and dedication. Anyway, the book is better than advertised. It's a keeper! Review: Step By Step......... - Outstanding book for HDR. Great Step By Step explanation of reaching your goals to present the best photo possible. Awesome before/after photos that show the power of HDR. Only down side (and sometimes humorous) was the gross mis-spelling of some words. Nobody used Spell-Check? Grammar aside, this is an excellent walk-through reference for jumping into HDR! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,784,594 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,171 in Digital Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 139 Reviews | ## Images ![Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Digital Photography (A Lark Photography Book) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mF+zSfqaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Excellent Book *by V***M on June 18, 2011* I like this book so much I purposely logged on to Amazon just to write this review.

Awesome before/after photos that show the power of HDR. Only down side (and sometimes humorous) was the gross mis-spelling of some words. Nobody used Spell-Check? Grammar aside, this is an excellent walk-through reference for jumping into HDR! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HDR from an expert *by O***T on April 21, 2012* Whether you are just getting interested/started in High Dynamic Range photography or have done it for awhile, this is a valuable book. It clearly explains the value of HDR processing along with some of its limitations. The book provides helpful comparisons of the results of creating images using several HDR software programs. I use Photomatix Pro, one of the two HDR programs he uses extensively in the book examples. His version and mine may be slightly different, which made the "I used these settings" a bit frustrating. He does not discuss the Fusion option in Photomatix Pro, which I find quite useful when trying to make HDR images that has minimal "artifacts". With Fusion-based processing for example, it is readily possible to create images that are similar to a single exposure but with increased vibrancy and detail in both shadow and brightly exposed areas. Thus, HDR can be used to improve photographs, but without the (perhaps) overdone "HDR look" that you frequently see. There appears to be considerable confusion within the chats and blogs on line about HDR regarding both how to do it and what can be achieved. This book gives the reader a clear understanding of how to do HDR and a wide variety of well reproduced examples using HDR techniques, frequently including the post processing settings used. Personally I am trying to improve my landscape-type photographs and always use HDR in taking them. This book should help you understand that decision and how HDR may improve the look of your photographs of this type as well. In summary, if you are interested in learning about HDR or improving your HDR results, this is a valuable book easily worth its cost. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/5237688-complete-guide-to-high-dynamic-range-digital-photography-a-lark](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/5237688-complete-guide-to-high-dynamic-range-digital-photography-a-lark) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
