High Dynamic Range Imaging
I saw the work of Pablo Marques a long time ago and was blown away by his photography. Each photo had a crispness and palette that put the whole of my personal collection to shame. I would sit and stare at his work for hours.
Thankfully, through the good people at QBN, my ego was re-vitalized by learning that the photography of Pablo Marques was generated using something called High Dynamic Range Imaging. This, coupled with patience, an eye and raw talent, can help even the most neophytic photographers to produce equally amazing pieces.
High Dynamic Range Imaging definition according to Wikipedia:
In computer graphics and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

Here are some samples of HDRI images.
