normally with HDR images, you take several shots at different exposures, , for example take 3 photos, one shot with what ever your light meter says then one stop higher and one stop lower, then you use a program to merge the 3 images, thats where your shadows and highlights come from, then you use HDR tonning to get your desired effect.
there is a way to cheat, which is to take one photo and use tone mapping, which is what I did since I did not have 3 I can merge. Does not come out the same tho.
