Dynamic range

The dynamic range consists of five stops of light tonality. The dynamic range contains image detail from white to black. It allows the photographer to set a point along the range for each tone by deciding which tones to let fall away.
These are the five tones of the dynamic range:
1. white with detail
2. light gray
3. middle gray
4. dark gray
5. black with detail
