I stumbled across a new technique recently for processing my high dynamic range (HDR) photographs. This new technique is very well detailed in Kah Wai Lin, in a tutorial he wrote for HDROne (site/magazine).

I’ve been working on images from this trip since December 2011. Steve Parker and I stood in the freezing temps (~5 degrees with wind) on a bluff overlooking the area surrounding the Steamboat Ski Resort one night back in December, shooting HDR images…. Yikes! That was a cold day. Same day Steve and I shot [...]
