We have done posts before on high dynamic range photography-here is an excellent short tutorial on HDR.

If you’re not really familiar with high dynamic range photography you should check out this article, absolutely stunning effects are possible with the technique. Now I’m just waiting for an iPhone app that will make it  possible to take HDR photographs on my mobile device. I guess I’m kidding, right?
