Houstonist Flickr Group Photo of the Day - Houston Metro

The shot from flickr user and houstonist photo contributor j-a-x.

Nothing cooler than a High Dynamic Range of Houston. For those not in the know (or who didn't look it up), HDR imaging "is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows."

The result is that this shot looks a little unreal, with more color dimension than otherwise. If we worked at Metro, we'd probably buy this photo and show it to the people on Richmond. "Look," we'd say, "It could be like this!"
