@omabluebird depends on your camera - I've done it with a point and shoot by setting in on manual and changing the exposure's - taking a pic at each level ... very basic ... then opened photoshop (I have CS5) and in there under File - Automate - Merge to HDR ... Don't know how to do it in 'manually' (with layers or masks - cause I suck at CS or other editing) and certainly not managed to do it with my Canon 5D - at least not well enough.
I am certainly no expert but I have experimented wtih some software called Photomatix Pro 3.0 - this requires three images taken with different exposures...normal and +/- a few stops (which if you shoot RAW you can just create from a single shot).
The software then does all the work. It doesn't seem (so far) to give me the dramatic colour effects I see in many HDR images but I'm still learning. :)
