    I saw this posted on some photography boards and thought many here might like it as well, I'll certainly be shooting many more bracketed shots from now on.

    Basically you take a series of bracketed shots in PS and combine them like you would any other HDR, but you choose 32-bit which doesn't give you any options, then save it and go back to Lightroom, you now have an image that has a ton more dynamic range than the +/- 0 shot. You also get to edit said shot in Lightroom with your normal tools.

    Here is an example I just did, the first is the unedited +/- 0 shot and the second is the unedited 32-bit shot, third is the edited 32-bit.

    It wasn't easy, the grass was dead so it was sliding all over, luckily the golf course didn't seem to find. :)
