How do you take yours, what do you have your camera set at for them?

I haven’t taken a true hdr picture with my camera yet (D40) only because it doesn’t do the 3 shot burst with exposure that I’d really like. When I do try (somehow they always get mixed up), I try to just mess around with the exposure settings and go far on both sides and then one in the middle and see what I come up with. With photoshop to stitch them together, I sometimes take 5 differently exposed pictures and see what happens.

I did find a nice plugin for photoshop which produces some interesting results. I took this photo this summer and just touched it up yesterday. Not a “true” hdr, but it’s fun to mess with it.

> High-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI) is a high dynamic range (HDR) technique used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. The aim is to present a similar range of luminance to that experienced through the human visual system. The human eye, through adaptation of the iris and other methods, adjusts constantly to adapt to a broad range of luminance present in the environment. The brain cont...

I really dont feel like explaining in depth cause HDR sucks so baldly, Id say 98% of HDR images look like shit.

What he said.

Set your camera to bracketing mode then pick your exposure limits you want. Get a tripod then shoot.
