My process for creating my HDR photo was: Take 3 different exposures, merge together with Photoshop, roughly edit in Photoshop, export and re-import into Lightroom, edit in Lightroom using masks and split toning.
If you look at the other HDR photos I’ve included in this post, they all have a similar tone. I liked playing around with images that have slight movement, which was easy to capture with fidgety kittens as my subject.
