HDR stands for high dynamic range. This is achieved by taking 3 or more photographs with different exposures and using a HDR program to combine them together. A good program for this is a free program called Qtpfsgui which can be found here: Qtpfsgui Download. I shall show you a step by step tutorial using Qtpfsgui (I know what your thinking, what kind of name is that?). OK, so this is a basic idiots guide to HDR creation. I don t explain every setting in the program because I don t know what everything does myself. Half the fun is discovering stuff for yourself, so enjoy. I used Qtpfsgui version 1.9.1 for this tutorial so the settings are different to  1.9.2 or 1.9.3. Version 1.9.3 does not work on my computer as of yet. Step 1 For this tutorial you will need three photographs. You can download these pictures I took in the Duke pub in Bristol (Great pub). Just click on the link below: Zipped Pictures. Unzip the pictures and place them somewhere you can find later.     Step 2 Now startup Qtpfsgui. Click on New HDR... A new window will open. Click on LOAD IMAGES and select and load the three images. The files will appear in the window with the exposures listed. The exposures are needed so if they don t appear you will have to work out what they are and input them manually. If your pictures were taken on a tripod you shouldn't need Auto Alignment. If they were taken by hand like mine were then you need to click the box to align. Click NEXT to continue, be warned alignment takes awhile so sit back and be patient, the pictures I provided have been reduced to save time for this tutorial so it should take around half a minute give or take.
