Create an appealing, artistically seen HDR image. This includes shooting a properly exposed HDR bracket sequence, merging with CS5 HDR Pro, optimizing the image further in photoshop, and finally printing.
For all camera users: Use a tripod. (Beg, Borrow, [but do not] steal)
For SLR users. Shoot in RAW. Either shoot with auto bracket, or manually bracket exposures. Shoot 5 stop exposure range. Manually focus and keep focus constant. Keep aperture constant (aperture priority), changing exposure only with shutter speed. It is recommended to use the timer function on the camera to trigger exposures to avoid camera shake.
For non-SLR users. Set camera to highest quality. Use aperture priority (if possible) and center weight auto focus (if possible). Use auto-bracket (if possible) for at least three stops. If your camera doesn't have the auto-braket feature, use +/- exposure value overrides. Take one exposure "properly" exposed, one underexposed by a stop (-1), and one overexposed by a stop (+1). It is recommended to use the timer function on the camera to trigger exposures to avoid camera shake.
