En am. High dynamic range imaging. High-dynamic-range (HDR) image made out of three pictures.
Taken in Tronador, Argentina. High-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI or HDR) is a set of techniques used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than possible using standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. HDR images can represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter.[1][2][3][4] Non-HDR cameras take photographs with a limited exposure range, resulting in the loss of detail in bright or dark areas.
HDR compensates for this loss of detail by capturing multiple photographs at different exposure levels and combining them to produce a photograph representative of a broader tonal range. HDRV – HDR Video is here. I visited Warwick University with Paul Hadley and talked with Professor Alan Chalmers about developments in High Dynamic Range (HDR) video capture.
We got to see some incredible footage, as it should be seen, on HDR monitors. We considered dropping some of the footage into the interview above but it would have really sold the experience short. If you google around you can find some pretty impressive footage not even shot with the 20 f-stops of latitude we got to experience. Home Page.
