			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my first instructional photography video, so please excuse the camera shake. In this video, I&#8217;m showing you how to setup your camera to take the 3 differently exposed shots you will need to create an HDR photo.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tr6O6Nx0P8M" frameborder="0" width="480" height="390"></iframe></p>
<p><span id="more-16"></span>In the video the steps are:</p>
<p>Set the dial to <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">&#8220;P&#8221;</span> &#8220;A&#8221; (aperture priority &#8211; per Helmut&#8217;s comment)</p>
<p><img title="P setting on Nikon D50" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/p-setting.jpg" alt="P setting on Nikon D50" width="100" height="73" /></p>
<p>Go to &#8220;Menu&#8221;, Settings (pencil on the left), and scroll down to #12 (BKT Set), press the dial right, Go down to AE &amp; Flash, press the dial right, Select 2.0 Step, and press the dial right &#8220;OK&#8221;.</p>
<p><img title="Bracket setting 12" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/d50-bracket-menu.jpg" alt="Bracket setting 12" width="140" height="112" /> <img title="Bracket set AE &amp; Flash" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/d50-bkt-set.jpg" alt="Bracket set AE &amp; Flash" width="142" height="112" /> <img title="2 step" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/d50-2-step.jpg" alt="2 step" width="142" height="112" /></p>
<p>Now you will see a BKT setting on your top LCD panel that looks like this:</p>
<p><img title="BKT bracket setting" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/bkt-setting-nikon-d50.jpg" alt="BKT bracket setting" width="160" height="96" /></p>
<p>Take 3 photos (each little black bar disappears once you take them in turn). Voila &#8211; you have the photos you need for your HDR.</p>
<p>The 3 consecutive photos taken from the shot in the video are here:</p>
<p><img title="HDR -2" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/hdr-1.JPG" alt="HDR -2" width="320" height="213" /></p>
<p><img title="HDR 0" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/hdr-2.JPG" alt="HDR 0" width="320" height="213" /></p>
<p><img title="HDR +2" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/hdr-3.JPG" alt="HDR +2" width="320" height="213" /></p>
<p>Each one is taken with a different exposure setting &#8211; the EV Steps. Once you combine them all in HDR processing software (I use Photomatix) and tweak the settings, the resulting photo should look like this:</p>
<p><img title="Combined HDR" src="http://www.visualphotoguide.com/images/hdr-example-photo.jpg" alt="Combined HDR" width="512" height="340" /></p>
<p>Maybe next time I&#8217;ll take a photo of something more exciting than some garbage cans and a driveway <img src='http://visualphotoguide.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>UPDATE</strong></span>:  here&#8217;s an <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=1010813&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=182887&amp;cl=81034" target="ejejcsingle">amazing HDR video tutorial</a> my friend Trey did! (11 hours of video instruction &#8211; this guy is the real deal)</p>
