HDRI Tutorial/Help?

[CaptainMench]

I've seen a few posts here about HDRI.

I've googled it and really like the prospects of shooting something like this.

But - what the? how the? what?

I've got a Digital Rebel and Photoshop CS.

Any step by step tutorials out there for getting this look? Can I stitch in Photoshop? Any Mac programs that would let me combine these exposures? Is exposure what I'm really after?

This is like asking a kid to give up his tricicle to drive a Mustang, but... Any REALLY simple (put this button here and turn this nob there...) tutorials?

thanks

HDRI is pretty tricky. Are you using if for 3D lighting or just for exposure control?

You will most likely need HDRShop for stitching. Are you using a light probe or do you have a 180 fisheye lens?

Realviz Stitcher is the best program for stitching images, Photoshop CS is okay.
