High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is a scientific lighting measurement technique. Using commercially available cameras, it is possible to take multiple exposure photographs that capture the wide luminance variations within a scene. This webinar hosted by the Lighting Applications Technical Group, Mehlika Inanici will discuss on best practices for capturing and post-processing of HDR images. HDR images can be used to measure and evaluate existing environments, and conduct psychophysical studies on visual comfort, perception, and circadian rhythms.
