HDR with a Canon A570IS digital camera??
Can anyone advise me as to the best way to build an HDR composite photo with this camera? I recently bought one and would like to know how I can mess with the settings so that I end up with a beautiful HDR image.
If you know what I’m talking about and can help, thanks in advance!
HDR starts with RAW images and the A570IS does not have that capability.
If you want to play with the concept, though, just set up a tripod and anchor the thing with a brick hanging from the center of the head. Take 5 shots, bracketting the exposure from 2 under to 2 over and then see how you can choose part of each one to use in a composite image using Layers in Photoshop.
These might give you some ideas:

My view to HDR photograophy
With the improvement of high technology, more and more techniques have been grown and put into practice in the industries and other fields of the real life. 3D technique has significantly improved, among which HDR imaging has been paid a lot of attention. The emerging and the rapid spread of HDR technology have grasped the attention of photo takers and graphic designers out of question. Thanks to this technology, the results are stunning and captivating. I will firstly introduce more basic knowledge about HDR to you so as to be much more clear of this newly-developed concept.
HDR introduction
HDR is the short name of High Dynamic Range. This process will be undertaken next after you completed the process of the capturing and uploading of the shots. The implication of HDR, is to make color more vivid and rich. What the nonobjective process actually means is that the alignment and the combination of different scenes while the contrast ratios are adjusted to bring out a more vibrant shot to the photo. It is a hard task concerned about aperture and shutter speed. With HDR, notwithstanding, it is quite possible.
To some extent, HDR technology is a good solution to reflect the scene we have actually see with the naked eyes. What your eyes have actually seen can possibly be attained with the use of this technology. It is a common phenomenon that most occasions when a photographers make efforts to capture and retain the image they have seen, but the images don not always translate into the scene they have expected. Some details in the photo may be too dark or too white. Their efforts are useless. By the use of HDR technology, users can recreate the shot they have seen and which tried to keep in mind by combining different shots, extracting various elements from each picture and combining it with one another until they generate the photo they have anticipated.
How to create HDR photos?
To create the HDR photos that you anticipated, specialized application, such as Photomatix, HDR Darkroom and so on is absolutely a necessity for you to be able to do this, but I prefer to say that the first application you have to acquire is HDR Darkroom, which functions much better than other applications with regard to merge and alignment function, so you can deal with your pictures there. You need to have at least three scenes of the same scene with different exposures. Also, you can hold your camera and take a photo without any intervene of tools, but utilizing a tripod is greatly recommended in case the happening of movement and hand shaking. Then deal with these shots in specialized program that you have picked up, and you will acquire the photo that most close to the reality.
Ending
To produce HDR photos with the help of HDR Darkroom is really learnable and enjoyable no matter you are a novice or an expert when it comes to photography and post-editing procedures. You absolutely can get the photos the way you want and the way you see during this process. All you have to do is to select the right tools and click away at whatever captivates you. Pick up the software depending on your experience and taste.
