I have been practicing this for a week now, and am just struggling.
It has been a great exercise in forethought and light temperature planning and remembering.
I take 20-30 second exposure of separate sections of a subject to give dramatic and depth lighting, and then piece them all back together in photoshop. The results are rather high dynamic range with very intriguing life to the image.
What I've found to work best for me, is pre planning how I want to light my subject, and just go small pieces at a time.
So, if you've never tried this... give it a shot. It's a lot of fun.
Here's one of mine. I've lost a lot of detail in the shadows... it's tricky lighting those areas and blending them later.
