High Dynamic Range Imaging
Posted on March 17, 2008 by oubiwann
So David Reid has a killer desktop background that looks like a game screenshot from Half Life 2. Turns out, it's a real photo and it was done using multiple exposure/composite techniques, something known as "high dynamic range" imaging. There's more info about that here:

Here are some nice ones that I have found on flickr and elsewhere:

I still haven't found the one that is on his desktop background, but when I do, I'll post a link :-)
