Sažetak
The emerging field of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging is directly linked to diverse existing disciplines such as radiometry, photometry, colorimetry and col¬our appearance - each dealing with specific aspects of light and its perception by humans. Although the idea is not new ; its wider usage started just a few years ago with the rising popularity of digital cameras and the increase of computers processing power. Now this photographic technique is widely spread and used, but more often - misused. The research was conducted, using a questionnaire, to get some actual information about how Croatian photographers see the HDR photography and how they employ it. The results of the survey proved that indeed a great inter¬est exists in the technique, but that many photographers are scared away from HDR photography because of the misconception that the artificial look is an unavoidable side effect of the HDR processing. However, the fact is that the final HDR image is a result of the tone mapping process and post-corrections and adjustments, entirely dependent on photographer’s intent and vision, as well as his understanding of various adjustments available. The results of the questionnaire have also pointed out other widely spread misconceptions which are discussed in this paper.
