HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (HDR)

When shooting in high-contrast situations, it is not always the shadows, one to record the midtones, and one to record
possible to make an exposure that records enough detail in detail in the highlights. You then merge these images either
both the shadows and the highlights. High Dynamic Range in-camera or in postproduction to make a picture with the
(HDR) imaging overcomes this limitation. To create an HDR widest possible tonal range. The result can be naturalistic or
image, you shoot three images or more, varying the exposure heavily processed, depending on the effect you wish to create
as you do so. At least one image should be exposed to capture in the final photograph.
