High Dynamic Range.

In photography it relates to both the camera's ability to get a larger difference between minimum and maximum exposure. The bigger the gap, the more that is in correct exposure. Unfortunately most cameras (if not all) have a small dynamic range, which means less things in correct exposure.

By combining multiple photos at different exposures you can get an image with multiple objects in perfect exposure.


In games HDRL (High Dynamic Range Lighting) usually refers to a similar effect, but also to the bloom effect that allows light to bend around 3D objects and create more realistic situations for the player.
