What is HDR

It seems like every time we go to capture an image we have to\\nchoose between the highlights and the shadows. Traditionally with\\nfilm you would expose for the shadows and then develop for the\\nhighlights. With Digital we must expose for the highlights and\\nbring up the shadows. The problem is images are limited by the\\nextreme ends and they don\'t match what we had seen at the time of\\ncapture. This is where High Dynamic Range (HDR) comes in. HDR is a\\ntechnique to create an image with details from the deep shadows\\nthrough the bright highlights. True HDR is a set of multiple\\ncaptures of the same scene at different exposures and using\\nsoftware to composite elements from each image and overlaying\\nseparate elements to create one photograph containing highly\\ndetailed information from 0-255 in all shadows and all highlights\\nas long as that information was available from any of the original\\nimages. There are many HDR-like photos being made from singular RAW\\nfiles where the highlights are brought down, the shadows are pushed\\nup, and the whites and blacks move similar directions. I find those\\ntypes of "HDR" images are not true to the form of the multi photo\\nHDR\'s. I have two images here one is from a single RAW file (the\\nfake HDR-like edit) and then another made up from 11\\xa0RAW\\nimages at varying exposures. Can you tell which HDR is which?

Happy Shooting!
