Introducing....

..... High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRi) and Vladimir Mikadze.

Blending computer graphics and photography, HDRi allows a greater range of values between dark and light areas allowing for final images of many levels of intensity. Vladimir Mikadze does a great job pushing this techinique to it's fullest extent in his work. The result are a set of images that could be categorized as "tragedy and comedy".
