These pictures were taken in Hotel Mead. For these picture, I used a tripod and changed the exposure. The first shot had an exposure of -2. The second shot was 0. And, the third shot was +2. I used the timer to take these shots to prevent me from bumping the camera. Then, I ran all of these photos through Dynamic Photo to create my HDR. In Dynamic Photo, I played with the different settings in the toning map. I used the eye-catching mode. Then, I increased the brightness and vivid color. Finally, I added clarity and de-haze.

One Shot HDR:

This photo was taken at the Bannack Mill. To compose this shot, I placed the lock in front of the two items. I then took the shot. Next, I ran the image through Dynamic Photo. In Dynamic Photo, I played with the different settings under the toning map. I enhanced the vivid color, brightness, and saturation. I also turned on the sky setting. Finally, I added clarity and de-haze.
