Just wondering how many of us have tryed this when taking pics? Just recently found out about this and below is my first attempt at the technique.
Have you tryed this? What was your result?

how would you personally do it
By editing RAW or by using Auto bracketing?

No you take 3 (can be more but min of 3) pictures of the samething on a tripod one underexposed one overexposed then one correctly exposed. Then you can use various programs to combine the three pictures together.

that how you did yours then?
That tutorial is saying you can do it with one Raw image, but then starts saying using one RAW image isnt "true" HDR
Im tempted to try one but all seems a bit technical

auto bracketing is a more pure way of doing it and usually has a better outcome.
I've not done a successful one yet. but you can use photomatrix or 'merge to hdr' function in photoshop

It's not hard at all really. I read about this on another forum and went out and tried it the same evening and produced that ^. Basically you take 3 pictures of the same scene (you will have to use a tripod though) Overexpose one underexpose on and then take one that¡¦s just right.
Then its simple if you have photoshop just go
File --> Automate --> Merge to HDR
Then follow the instruction on there. If you haven¡¦t got photoshop there is loads of programs that do it just google it. There are other ways to do it using RAW images etc but I always think that his way comes out best.
