High dynamic range imaging

In computer graphics and cinematography, high dynamic range imaging is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows.

Paul Debevec[?] is widely considered to be the founder of the discipline of high dynamic range imaging.
