High dynamic range imaging (HDR) as you probably know is a digital imaging technique to produce a photo from a set of photos taken with a mixture of exposures, from the light to the dark areas of a scene. A HDR photo is rich in color, surreal, inspiring & stunning. With the rising of digital cameras and desktop software, HDR is getting popular & popular. The quality of a HDR photo is affected by factors such as the software being used, exposure range, composite & mapping technique or even the computer screen for monitoring.

I searched the net and eventually found ton of HDR photos. Lay out here is some of the creative common licensed HDR photos for Tokyo, showing the dynamic view of this largest city of the world. Hope you enjoy it.
