DRI

One type of HDR is the DRI. The acronym is very straightforward: Dynamic Range Increase. DRI images are made using one single RAW file. The technique comes in handy when there is no possibility to shoot bracketed photos of a theme (for example moving objects) or when you simply want to see what it does to your photos Here is an example to what DRI can do for your photos.

For this photo I made three JPGs of the original RAW file: -0.5, 0 and +0.5 exposure values respectively. I ran these through my usual HDR software Dynamic Photo HDR. I used a very subtle tone mapping process as I wasn’t going for the dramatic HDR look, just looking to add some umph to the photo.
