You need a camera capable of bracketing the exposure. Ideally, you'll want to bracket using the shutter, not the aperture. Bracketing takes a set of images (usually 3 or 5) by holding down the shutter in bracketing mode (on my Canon, it's the AEB setting). Generally, I bracket using -2, 0, and +2. This will give you an underexposed image, and normally exposed image, and an overexposed image. You use a HDR program to combine and tone-map the images.so is this some kind of program you buy to edit the picture to get them to look this way? I really like a few of these. Especially the Chicago one. Nothing jumps out at me in it. Looks as if it should be that way. I also like the one with the mowed lawn and mail box, but the cedar tree to the left seems really bright around the edges.
Lookin' good. I think you're getting it!

What happens here is you are taking the stuff in the overexposed image that would normally be black due to shadowing, and bringing the details out. Then you are taking the stuff in the underexposed image that w
True, any camera with any type of manual mode can be set to bracketing, but if there's not an automatic exposure bracket, the camera will probably get moved while changing settings, unless you have a good tripod.Just about all cameras can bracket.
You don't have to have a camera do it for you.
Set up on a tripod, manually change exposures. This is far superior to hand holding the camera even if the camera can take 5+ FPS because the camera WILL move.
Yeah, HDR is almost a necessity because of the limited range of the digital format.

No matter what equipment you have, if you have the will, you can do it. But using a tripod with automatic bracketing is a sure way to get the best results.
Wow there is alot to this stuff. I would love to learn how and get some starter equipment. Any good forums/websites for a beginner? B/c just reading this makes it seem very overwelming.
T1i is a great camera. Can't wait to get one as my backup photo/main video camera.
