HDR photography has come a long way from the over-the-top look that made it famous. Here's why I still bracket exposures today - and why HDR has always been about capturing light, not creating a special effect.

In this video and blog post, I dive back into Aurora HDR. It was the first app that I really got into deeply, and sort of put me on the path I am now on. But I haven’t used it in a while, and was curious if it held up to today’s standards. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
