HDR: What is it?

High Dynamic Range, or HDR

• A technique that combines multiple photos of the same scene, taken at different exposures (bright, medium, dark), into one image
• This Captures detail in both the brightest highlights and darkest shadows, mimicking how the human eye sees it
• Higher end cameras have this effect built into the camera
• Lower level, such as our Canon Rebels do not have this ability so we must create it in photoshop after taking the photos

Why do we take HDR Photos? The camera does not have the same capabilities as your eyes when it comes to seeing both bright and dark tones in a scene. Our eyes are equipped with the most advanced technology, allowing us to see and perceive colors and tones no human-made electronic device can even come close to.
