The set of high contrast images in this video are nearly impossible to merge with exposure blending / luminosity masking techniques. That's where this hybrid HDR method comes in. If you only have one way to bring back views from windows in your post production then you're limiting yourself unnecessarily.

If you've got a hang up about HDR photography (high dynamic range) due to all the people that over used it, over processed it, and made HDR photos look like a a surrealist illustration, please understand, that if it's done right, it can be a valuable tool for an architectural photographer / real estate photographer.

I'll work on this set of photos that have been sent in to me with a technique that combines the best of realistic HDR with best of underlying base exposure, allowing us to quickly and seemlessly bring back the views from outside. Even in this exceptionally high contrast scene that has images missing from the bracketed set.

We'll be using Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. For the HDR component I strongly recommend Aurora as it gives the most realistic blends with limited fuss. For finishing the image I do a quick edit in Luminar AI using the AI tools just to give our finished photo a helping hand.
