HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography takes three pictures at different exposures and combines them to add more dynamic range and contrast between light and dark areas than a single photo can capture. It is useful for landscapes with contrasting sky and land or portraits with harsh lighting, but photos with movement may come out blurry and HDR can wash out already vivid colors.

PHOTOGRAPHY LESSON:

HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE

W H AT I S H D R
PHOTOGRAPHY?

HDR (High Dynamic

Photography) is a way to
essentially add more
dynamic range to
photographs, which is the
contrast between light and
dark lighting.

W H AT D O E S I T D O ?

HDR photos take three pictures, at different

exposures, instead of one photo. You can use an


image editing program to put these photos together
or you can use a smartphone, which automatically
takes the three photos very fast and puts them
together.

WHEN TO USE
HDR

Use HDR photography

when there is a lot of


contrast, like the sky and
land in landscapes
HDR photography can

help portraits by mixing


harsh light and darkness

WHEN TO
NOT USE HDR
Photos with movement

usually come out blurry


because the subject
changes positions
throughout the photos.
HDR can wash out photos

that already have vivid


colours.
