This is my first true attempt at HDR photography.
I've used many fake HDR edits and presets in the past.
This is pure HDR.
I used exposure bracketing and a tripod to capture three images.
The first image was shot at normal exposure.
The second was underexposed and the third was overexposed; both by one full stop.
The three images were merged from Lightroom to Photoshop HDR Pro
where the exposures were combined and edited
