WAIT. I know you have no idea what HDR photography is but watch this and you’ll get the idea:
(HDR stands for "High Dynamic Range")
If you’ve been in any art or photo studios recently, you know that high dynamic range photography & artwork has been all the rage these days.
High Dynamic Range photography is basically just normal photos that are unique because it’s imagery is always visible and clear while maintaining an extreme range of color & brightness. No one detail is every "washed out" because it’s too bright and overexposed, and no one detail is ever "blacked out" because it’s too dark from underexposure.
It normally requires a lot of work and artistry to accomplish this, but using the technique above discovered by Microsoft Research, one can create high dynamic range photos with very little effort at all using a tool similar to a tool in Adobe Photoshop.
