It is faster, more powerful and more featurerich than any other HDR software. Aurora HDR combines everything the world knows about high dynamic range photography, and takes it light years further.
We are going to photograph the old cars in this amazing location, as well as use speedlights and photograph models. Aurora HDR is a joint project between Macphun and Trey Ratcliff, the world’s most renowned HDR photographer. I’m getting ready to go to Old Car City this weekend to teach a sold out workshop.
