I love Photoshop... I use CS5, and Lightroom 3 for my editing.
80-90% of the time Lightroom has everything I need to quickly adjust
and edit photos, but this project required a little more.
I captured three images, one with good exposure, one 3 stops under
exposed, and one 3 stops over exposed.

Normal exposure. |

3 stops under exposed. |

And last one 3 stops over exposed. |
These are then combined into an HDR (high dynamic range) photograph in Photoshop.
The next step was to place and blend all the subjects into the HDR image.
After a little work you can get the image to look seamless.
OK maybe a lot of work... About 2 hours later...

BudaBing BudaBoom...
I ended up using about 12 different layers to create this image.
The final Photo looked pretty good what do you think?
