You have to take the same picture at all the levels of exposure and put them together in photoshop or some HDRI image processing program.

It's usually best to shoot a chrome sphere, like a chrome gazing ball, so that you can get a 360 panorama. Usually you would shoot five or so stops of range, the more the better. Then you put that into a program like HDR Shop (PC only and version 1 is free) or Photosphere (for Mac, and also free) and convert them to a HDRi. Keep in mind, your camera needs to be locked down securely. PS2 also has a Merge to HDR command and I think it's similar to HDR Shop's but I would use one of the standalone programs.
