I took this picture one evening while walking next to a lake in Kosice. Too bad i only took one shot, so some of the darker areas are not as detailed as I would like. HDR from a single shot, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 18-200mm lens, handheld.
Clouds are such a nice subject for HDRs. HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, handheld.

Problem: Would like to create a HDR image, but only have a single exposure and its a JPG file.
Solution: As programs like Adobe Camera RAW support also JPG files you can take your JPG photo and split it into different exposures. Just create three copies, one with -2EV, one at 0 and one at +2EV. From here the process is exactly same as if you taken three separate photos.
I use this usually when I edit older photos, taken before I started with HDR photography. The results are mixed. Sometimes this really helps a photograph, sometimes it doesn’t.
I really like my camera (Canon 450D) but it’s really not that great for night shots. Still sometimes I’m really pleased with the result. HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 18-200mm lens from a tripod.
