Dynamic Range

 Dynamic Range in photography is the ratio between the measurable light intensities. In our daily lives we do not see true black or white only different degrees of them. A stop is halving or doubling the light in a photograph. Most single sensor digital cameras can capture 9-10 stops. Film can have up to 10 stops when negative and 5-6 when positive. A human eye can capture 10-14 stops which is more than most digital cameras. These pictures below show the same pictures with different with different dynamic range and it shows the difference.
