HDR (high dynamic range)


A method of digital imaging that involves taking multiple images of the same scene with varying degrees of exposure and then combining those pictures into a single image. This brings out information in shadow and highlight areas that are typically unable to be recorded in a single exposure, and it is particularly beneficial for capturing high-contrast subjects, such as brightly-lit landscapes, interiors, and night scenes.
