Strobist Property photography part 2

This is what the camera did straight out in auto, you can see that the window at the left has messed up the metering big time and the room is totally under exposed, so how do you change it so that the room is properly exposed but you can still see out the window?

Flash is the answer.

Highlands photos (HDR and Long Exposure)

Here are two photos from the same location, the first is in a portrait orientation the second in a landscape orientation.  Both are HDR images taken from a selection of 5 Raw files from the Nikon D300 and shot with the Tokina lens the 11-16mm f2.8.  The photos were then edited in the HDR software called Photomatix and the bottom one was then also cropped a little in Adobe Lightroom and had its blacks and lightfill pumped up.

After the break I shall add one of the original photos that this photo was created from for you to see how the dynamic range is increased with HDR editing.
