I've been reading up on and experimenting a bit with high dynamic range photography lately, and also thinking of creating some Christmas cards this year. So it's only natural that the two would come together eventually. This is just some preliminary experimenting with a tonemapped HDR image of some Christmasy looking foliage that I collected and photographed in a little makeshift studio. I'm still trying to think of a nice arrangement for both the leaves/berries, and a general layout of the card, so if you have any suggestions....

How does it work?

Well I'm glad you asked. HDR is basically taking multiple pictures of the same scene with different exposures. So in this case I took five pictures, starting really dark and underexposed, and ending bright and overexposed. By layering the images, you get the "dynamic range" of the scene, both the lows and the highs in the same picture. Check out some HDR sets on flickr, it's real cool stuff.
