In Praise of In-Camera HDR

HDR can unlock a whole new creative outlet for you in your photography — I’d recommend experimenting with the in/camera HDR function, especially if your camera has it like the RICOH GR III in camera HDR — to unlock new shadows and to create new types of imagery.

Also you can shoot in camera HDR, and convert it and process it later into black and white for another more dynamic look and aesthetic!
