It means that he has taken subsequent pictures with different exposures. This is the beginning step for creating an HDR image.

Damn! I love those pics, but that's HDR gone too far. He has crossed the barrier from photographs to art to where I don't consider them photographs anymore.

so i was creating some HDR pics in PS CS2 mentioned in the backing winds side (http://backingwinds.blogspot.c...ional-hdr-images.html), but most of my pics werent lining up properly because I was forced to hand hold the camera while taking original pics. Found out about a HDR alignment tool and it works wonders. http://www.flickr.com/groups/h...uss/72157594229411664/

someone mentioned photomatrix, but I have read a few places that photomatrix tends to overdue to the HDR thing. Probably get better, more realistic results with photoshop.
