High dynamic range, basically a picture with perfect light exposure received from multiple shots.

Can you please tell me your steps? I also wanted to know if you used the same image and adjusted the exposure, or if you actually took multiple shots and merged them. And the program used to HDR.

You do know we have an entire thread already dedicated for HDR under the Photography section right? I think it's currently at 12 pages.

neither actually. i have a D50, one of the cheapest SLR's the sell lol, and i use Photomatix which you can download a free version online (but it leaves a watermark, but still fun to learn on) or use photoshop CS2 or 3. i'll find a tutorial and post it up soon.

well, to be honest, on a lot of my HDR's i just use a single exposure, and photomatix will create an HDR image out of one picture. but i shoot in JPG+RAW. so it saves 2 files; a jpeg and a raw. i open the RAW single exposure in photomatix, create an HDR image and mess around with the tone mappings. on the rest of my pictures, i actually take 3 different photos with different exposure values. on most SLR's you can go into the menu and turn bracketing on which will take 3 pictures for you basically. you press the shutter 3 times (on a tripod is the BEST way to do it), it will take 3 pictures, one over exposed, one correctly exposed, and one underexposed. then you take those 3, open them with photomatix or photoshop and merge to HDR.

I don't care if its norcal, I just think it's pointless to have a norcal only HDR thread. That's like me making a socal NSFW funny picture thread. why the hell only socal?
