HDR: High Dynamic Range.
When applied to photography, it refers to using a bracketed set of photographs (one normal, one over, one under) and using software like Photomatix or Photoshop CS3 to combine the 3 pictures. What ends up happening is the final image has a more dynamic range than a regular photograph, with more detail in highlight regions (do to the underexposed shot) and the shadow regions (do to the overexposed shot). Usually they also take on a strange quality that makes them looks like they're out of a videogame or are just bizarrely surreal.
People on /p/ don't like HDR because they think any retard with a camera that brackets can take a series of 3 shitty photos and make an HDR photograph that looks good. They think it's the easy way out. I try to use good composition when I decide to make an HDR photograph instead of just taking shitty pics, which is win-win.
