2. Fascinating
Photography
High
Dynamic
Range
Even the most modern digital cameras have a limited dynamic
range. Drastic lighting contrasts exhibit this restriction easily, such as
with a photo taken indoors looking outside, like in the first example
shot. You either have a properly lit interior, where the surrounding
park behind the arches are far too bright, or an image with an
adequately lit park, but with an interior that is far too dark.
HDR
technology, short for
High Dynamic Range,
clears up this
problem by generating images with an extremely large dynamic
range, unmatchable by monitor displays or prints.
The idea is simple - several images with varying exposure times are
assembled into one image. In our example, three shots are fused: an
image with a longer exposure time to capture the dark details inside
the pavilion, a short exposure shot where the park behind the
pavilion is correctly lit, as well as an exposure exactly in the middle.
The combined result is a single image containing all of the light,
midtone and shadow detail. HDR projects 5 does the work for you.
The capable program merges the bracketing exposure images and
uses tone mapping to establish a photo fit for printing and screen
displays.

The combined image contains all of the details of the pavilion and park,
properly lit just as we saw the scene with our own eyes.
In the next few pages we will show you how quickly you can create
fascinating images with
HDR projects 5
and what you can achieve
with its immense range of functions.
An obvious case for
HDR projects 5
- an evening scene with lanterns
can only be captured naturally using HDR technology. Otherwise, the
dark surroundings would not be capturable with the bright lights. A
camera sensor's range of contrast is very limited when compared to
that of the human eye.
