Manual HDR explained

Photo legend:

| A | B | C |

| D | E | -- |

 

A was exposed at 1/100s @ 2.5f.

B was exposed at 1/8s @ 2.5f.

C was exposed at 1/52 @ 2.5f.

 

I manually loaded each of the photos into Photoshop as separate layers. The top layer was A, middle was B, and bottom layer was C. Then I created layer masks for Photos A and B (seen as photos D and E, respectively). So in Photoshop when viewed as Layers, the photos are like this (from top to bottom):

A + D

B + E

C

Done
