What is HDR (High dynamic range imaging) in Photography?
High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) is a set of processes that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The purpose of HDRI is to precisely represent the wide array of intensity levels found in real life scenes ranging from direct sunlight to dull shadows.
This process was developed to produce a high dynamic range image from a set of photographs taken with a range of exposures. Information stored in high dynamic range images usually equates to the physical values of luminance or radiance that can be observed in the real world. This is different from traditional digital images, which represent colors that should appear on a computer monitor or a printout.
