HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and is a quite popular way of creating photos these days. It is the ability to take a series of different exposures of the same scene and combining them in post processing so basically all the image is properly exposed.

There are a lot of explanations of what HDR is all about and how it works. Among them, I found some cool tutorials you might like to start with if you are a newbie.
