It produces 180-degree view on frame. The images they produce are highly distorted, giving them a dynamic, abstract feel.

The Palace of Culture was a typical structure of the Eastern bloc. A building was dedicated to sports, education and culture. The huge buildings were central point for people to enjoy all kinds of recreational activities in Pripyat. Pripyat (1km from the reactor) was designed as an exemplar of Soviet planning for the 50,000 people who worked at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant till 1986. But the result of soviet planning was the worst nuclear accident in history. Now Pripyat is in a radioactive exclusion zone unfit for human habitation. It must have been a beautiful place before the accident.

HDR is an acronym for High Dynamic Range. One of the best ways to capture HDR photography is to use a camera with HDR function or simpler way is photographed a series of photos with different exposures and then combining them on your computer by software like Adobe Photoshop.

What we need ?
- Camera with manual exposure controls
- Tripod
- Suitable lens

Basic Camera Settings:
- Use aperture priority or manual mode, change only the shutter speed
- White Balance set to a fixed value
- Automatically focus on a subject and then switch to manual focus
- Set the lowest ISO value
- Turn off all undesirable effects
- If is it possible, Shoot in RAW

Shooting (three ways):
- Autobracketing (set aperture priority, select the aperture, the number of shots, AEB size and others are already managed by camera)
- Manual mode ( focus on the object, switch to manual focus, set the appropriate aperture value and shutter speed for the darkest / brightest area. Gradually increase / decrease the shutter speed by 1 EV, to reach a value for correct exposure)
- One RAW shot (you take it on only one shot and save it in RAW format. Than recall three photos with different exposures and then merge them in the program in HDR photography)
