Despite far superior technology, photographic film is still better than digital cameras in emulating the dynamic range our eyes can perceive. That's where High Dynamic Range steps in. Wikipedia defines HDR as a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminances between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.
