HDR stands for High dynamic range imaging, HDR is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

HDR is a matter of getting more out of a shot than is normally available through a single exposure. and that are then combined using either Photoshop or a HDRI special program. it While it does help to use a high quality camera, like a DSLR, there is no special camera you have to buy to produce these images.

In simple and concise terms, HDR is the scourge of modern photography. its a reference to the ability of the film or image sensor to detect and record a wide range of light intensity. Human vision is able to sense and interpret a much wider range of intensity than either film or digital image sensors. So many pictures cannot capture what we can see with our own eyes.
