A brighter future for displays, through brighter photos.

Modern stock image portals offer 8-bit Jpegs, and on rare occasions 8-bit TIFF files. With display tecnhnologies like the ones available through Brightside Tech moving to allowing the viewer a medium for better viewing, the demand for higher dynamic range images will grow. Their DR37-P is touted as the world's first high dynamic range display, but currently there is limited offerings in the markert for this type of imagery.

"The business of licensing stock images is huge, but limited in offering images that meet the needs of tomorrow's technologies." notes Lloyd Wainscott, the PPA Certified Master Photographer who created a highly successful photography business in Kentucky, and is now looking ahead to offering the next generation of images online. He adds, "This is what truly seperates the quality of good stock libraries from the overcrowded microstock portals – a concern for offering the absolute highest quality images to the clients."

Images that meet those needs are available for limited licensing through www.okinawahdr.com. Though only a small selection is available, the library of high-quality images is growing every week and is currently the largest with its current offering of Japan specific High Dynamic Range Images.

Okinawa HDR and its contributing photographers are all professional Photographers and Art Directors based in Okinawa and plan to grow their library to offer over two-hundred premium HDR images to their collection within a few weeks. Images are available in 96-bit Radiance RGBE and 16-bit TIFF format only.
