Messing around with HDR

[SenorJ]

location is the problem.
what i usually do is take a picture where the highlights are just bright enough to be called light, and then use that same exposure on the overexposed side. say you have -5 for your underexposed, then do 0, then do +5. Either way, you've got the concept for what you need in the picture to get it.

a whole slew of people will disagree with me on this, but you can accomplish hdr on a single raw capture, and then adjust your exposure in post.
