Photographer Mark Goldman shares some true HDR images he’s taken during his coverage of Nationals and Orioles games.

I have been experimenting with making true HDR images during my coverage of the Nationals and the Orioles. In simpler terms, HDR is a range of methods to provide higher dynamic range from the imaging process. Our current digital cameras take pictures at one exposure level with a limited contrast range. This results in the loss of detail in bright or dark areas of a picture, depending on whether the camera had a low or high exposure setting. HDR compensates for this loss of detail by taking multiple pictures at different exposure levels and intelligently stitching them together to produce a picture that is representative in both dark and bright areas. Most of my images start with correct exposure and then I go to between 3 or 4 stops (1/3 stop increments) over and under the correct exposure. The images are brought together in Photoshop where they are combined to create the HDR images you are viewing.
