So this darling client of mine is insisting of getting me to do an HDR photo of their new venue, packed full of pissed people, at 10pm on a Saturday. I've always steered clear of HDR, mainly due to the notorious clown-vomit you see splattered around online; I've always preferred to use ND grads (the bulk of my work comes from real estate).
So is this going to involve a week of masking in every fucking person in the shot, or is there a more effective way of doing this (HDR of moving subjects at night)

take a normal picture and just put an "HDR effect" in it. Don't tell the John.
Pic related. I did it in 2 min using some random online picture editor, you can do something similar in a better way using LR or w/

Can't you fake an hdr effect with a raw image? Just mix 2-3 versions of the same pic with different exposure settings and he'll be happy

not possible with all the people moving around
good camera should have enough dr in one raw for hdr-toning that looks hdr enough for a normie though
install magiclantern on your canon, set to bracket, reshoot

fire the client, simple

Oh yeah I was assuming you had nice gear, what camera will you use? Anyway someone retarded enough to make such request will surely not give a fuck about noise, just make it look like everyone is made of metal and he'll be pleased
Use some ND's, set up tripod and 30s exposure. Packed bar turns into slightly less packed (or completely empty) bar.
Just bracket at a high iso or something.

YES! Been a while since we had a good laugh thread. New comp. Gonna save all I can itt.
I can't remember the exact video but I remember a review where the girl host referred to HDR as "highly dope rendering"
toppest kek
Step one: Camera on Tripod
Step two: HDR empty bar
Step three: Photograph with people in the bar.
Editing: Process the empty bar, then tonemap the image with the people. Stack images in PS. Paint in the people using masks
OR - Set up 2 cameras in nearidentical position. Take two shots at same time, different exposures (split the difference between shutter speed and aperture). Use RAW editing to create 2 exposures from each image. HDR it.

Just develop the same raw file 2 or three times with different exposure settings, blend in Photoshop.
