there are a lot of options really...

one simple way using the D80 - read up on Bracketing... it has a built in function and is pretty easy to use (I'll leave the manual reading to you... but)

as for PSE 6... hmmm... does it have it built in? CS3 has it under FILE / AUTOMATE / MERGE TO HDR...

sorry, not sure if PSE6 has it though... (really helpful I've been huh?)

a quick search on tutorials for dynamic range increase might be helpful too

you can say select -> color range -> highlights and delete the highlights from every image except the least exposed and that will give you a kind of HDR

yeah, that's basically what a "tutorial" I found said to do... for some reason I couldn't explain it that easily... hahaha... teaching > me... haha

lol I for some reason have an easy time explaining things like that. Anything that I can list out into a step by step procedure is easy. Anything that requires independent thought by the person I am not so good at explaining and when they can't see it and its really simple to me I get mad and belittle them until I feel better

Thanks man. That would have been my XTi with the 18-55 kit lense.

Engagement shoot I did

[krnlscott]

Those are excellent. On the first one, did you manually blur the bench? If you did, then how exactly did you do it?

Not butting in, but if you look closely you can tell.
