You know Flickr never stops to amaze me. The quality of photography on the wildly popular website is simply awesome, and puts some of the so-called photography stock image sites to shame. In recent times the popularity of HDR images has been fueled, in part, by the staggering number of photographers contributing their latest works to the site.

So what exactly are HDR photographs and images? Wikipedia probably explains it best:

High-dynamic-range photographs are generally achieved by capturing multiple standard photographs, often using exposure bracketing, and then merging them into an HDR image. Digital photographs are often encoded in a camera’s raw image format, because 8 bit JPEG encoding clips the camera’s possible dynamic range (and also introduces undesirable effects due to the lossy compression).

We find these images so amazing, and inspiring, we wanted to share in a regular feature some simply stunning images from around Flickr’s creative commons area and offer some links to popular tutorials and information with regard to this unique process. Let’s get started -
