What Does HDR Mean?
Recent Blog Posts
HDR is an acronym for High Dynamic Range and means that there is more light in an image than modern electronics and printers are capable of displaying. Luckily thanks to computer software and a few easy techniques we can reduce the amount of light in an HDR picture so that it can be seen on your computer screen or printed by a process called Tone-Mapping.
Traditional film photos have a dynamic light range of about 300:1 while the human eye has a dynamic light range of about 1,000,000:1. This is why photos can be over and underexposed compared what you saw with your eyes.
High dynamic range imaging is also a key reason that video games and movies with special effects look so real. As the technology advances for the big studios, there is no reason you shouldn't be taking advantage of it as well.
