Often I hear people carelessly inter-mix the terms &#8220;HDR&#8221; and &#8220;Tone Mapping&#8221;.  HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, a method of capturing a wider-than-normal dynamic range of an image. In photography, this is often done by capturing a range of exposures and then combining them selectively to show more detail in the shadows and highlight than would be possible with a single exposure. Tone Mapping refers more to the process of combining the multiple exposures and how the transitions between those exposures are handled.<\/p>\n<p>Often, people push the effect too far and end up with surreal, fantasy-like images. While there is a place for this look, it has polarized the photo community (no pun intended.) Folks either love it or hate it. However, when the images are combined in a more subtle way, the results can be quite natural looking. The image above is a good example of using restraint in the HDR \/ Tone Mapping process.
