You can get this effect right away while shooting, but if you did not do that, then you can easily get it done with free HDR Lightroom presets. These free HDR presets for Lightroom allow you to take pictures of high contrast and still retain all the important details in the shadows and light areas of the photographs. Presets allow you to use a larger range of brightness in the image, moreover, the range can be much larger than it is in a conventional image.
When do we use these free HDR presets for Lightroom? Some scenes can be too contrasting, due to a certain type of lighting.
