Does anyone here know how? Aparently you take 3 pictures. One over exposed, one exposed right and one under exposed. You overlay all three and get a really cool looking picture. If anyone knows what I am talking about, post what you have and give me some pointers. I have a camera that I can do this with, but I don't know what to do with the pics after I have them.

Isn't it HDR? High dynamic range?

I use a program called photomatix to put them together. All pics are at home, but Google that program and you'll find what you want :)

I just changed the title for you as I think it will help get you more responses.

Regarding your question, if you have an iPhone, you can get an app that does this really well. Some newer cameras will have this function built into it like the Sony NEX's but otherwise, you can do this on your own with the help of Photoshop.

Re:

Taken with a DSLR, processed with Photomatix. ( demo leaves a watermark)
Photoshop also does a great job.
There a quite a few programs out there to do it.
I find bracketing 3 exposures, with the center exposure 2/3 below normal makes the clouds a little more dramatic.
Not everyone likes the look, and it's how a person prefers it. If not over baked, you can achieve a really cool natural look.
Watch for clipping and noise when you do it, especially in the skies...
Great for real estate pictures..

Need to purchase the license to get rid of the watermark, but our Moab 2012 crew:

I just tried Photomatix for the first time and I really like it so far. Here is my first attempt at an HDR using Photomatix.

Gorgeous! I love a good HDR shot, especially with a little cloud cover, just sets the whole thing off!
