These HDR worlds are more than mere photography; they've transcended that earthly label into a full-fledged phenomenon so surreal as to be almost unbelievable. The HDR worlds you'll see in this photographic slideshow may have their origins in real life, but these aren't your average photographs.
Implications - Advancing technology has literally opened the floodgates for a whole new world of photograph manipulation, and this collection of HDR photographs is a perfect example of that technology being put to good use. It's truly amazing how hyperreal images can be made and put to incredible new uses such as wallpaper, but even more exciting is the knowledge that the potential for this awesome technology is still so widely unexplored.
