You must be able to manually change the ISO and Shutter Speed and different factors in the camera in order to either under expose or over expose your shots.  2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image? The equipment needed is a camera that is able to manually adjust the settings, a tripod to ensure stable shots, and HDR photo blending software.  3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image? Designed to help people take better looking photos. For example, landscapes have contrast between the sky and land which is difficult for your camera to deal with in just one photo.
