Fort Worth in HD

Ever seen Fort Worth in HD?  Well, now you can see some gloriously detailed photographs courtesy of local photographer James Brandon. He shoots in High Dynamic Range (HDR), so you can experience a photographic image like never before. These images do for photography what HD has done for television.

James Brandon is a Destination Travel and Wedding Photographer based out of Fort Worth Texas. His travel and landscape work uses an emerging form of photography called HDR, or High Dynamic Range. This process uses several images of the same scene taken at different exposures to gather the full spectrum of light available in a scene. Most of the time, a camera cannot capture the full range of light in a scene. The subject may be exposed properly (such as the foreground), but the sky will be blown out. Or the sky may be properly exposed, but the tree in the foreground is rendered as a silhouette. HDR takes exposures of every part of the scene, and then combines the best light of each exposure on a pixel by pixel basis. The final product is a beautiful work of art that has been said to resemble Impressionism.
