HDR stands for High Dynamic Range or HDRI – High Dynamic Range Imaging. This method was developed to produce a high dynamic range image from several different photographs ( usually three – with high exposure, low exposure and standard exposure) and usually merging them in Adobe Photoshop or any other image processing software for tone-mapping. HDR is becoming more and more popular with its stunning magical and surreal effects.
I chose car HDR photos because cars are very detailed naturally, so adding HDR effect gives amazing results – just check out this collection. However I know it’s not so complete, just small chunk of inspiration, click on the images to lead You to the pages from which they’ve been originally taken. 31 Stunning HDR Car Photographs

These cars looks really amazing. The best car makes and models in their best pictures and styling. I saw these wallpapers in a car shop last week. I saw them viewing it on the internet.
wow Cool tip thank for sharing.
Great tutorial . Thanks
I love the style that HDR creates. I’m also a car nut so a post can’t get much better than this. The way HDR makes almost any car look like a classic work of art is great. I’d bet a lot of car enthusiasts would pay to have something like this done for their classic and collector type cars.

@fractalfrog huh, didn’t know how everything was while ago, but it’s interesting to listen..:) In our days this effect is becoming quite popular – everything is moving on..
Bah! When I was younger, we didn’t need any fancy smancy Photoshop or Photomatix to get great colors. Instead we just dropped some acid and BLAM!, instant vivid colors. ;-)
Seriously though, some amazing images there. Overdone? Sure, but so what? Art is Art is Art.
@Marco man..Your list is really stunning, had no idea somewhere is something similar huh..thanks, mate! :)
Reminds me about my “Outstanding HDR photos of machines” article I placed online a while ago: http://www.marcofolio.net/imagedump/outstanding_hdr_photos_of_machines.html . Too bad I didn’t make your list.
Anyway, HDR is really awesome to look at, you really did a good job on the round-up! Keep up the good work.

@Mike Smith thanks, agreed some of them are even too much surreal, but for myself I am just falling in love of colors.
This is the perfect article. A few of the pictures seem a bit “overdone” but for the most part, visually stunning. Thanks for posting this. Stumbled and delicious tagged.
