For those of you that don’t know, HDR imaging is a process of taking multiple images of the same subject and then combining those images into one.  You can take anywhere from 3-7 images of the same subject and then combine them.  This is a really basic explanation, but generally, you take one photo at “normal” exposure and then you take some over and some underexposed shots.  When you combine the images into one it gives you a full range of colors and you get all of the shadows and highlights from all of the images.  Then you use a software program to “tonemap” the image to bring out the colors and give it its final look.  I was using Photomatix, but I have found a new software called Dynamic Photo HDR that I like a little more.
