High Dynamic Range Against The Machines

For those of you who aren't familiar with "High Dynamic Range" photography, it's pretty neat. Basically you take several photos of the exact same scene using different exposure values. That way you get photos that have the darkest darks, and other with the lightest lights. Then you combine the photos (Photoshop even has an option for this) and presto, High Dynamic Range. A lot of the pictures turn out otherworldy, and because I don't actually know anything about photography or art, I think they look like they were rendered for a video game. Which is cool. See?
