Rajeev,
The hard part if taking the multiple exposures and resizing them all to be ready for process to HDR. The program I use for the HDR effect is Photomatix Pro and it is soooo easy, and fun. No need to pay anyone to do the HDR part. Photomatix Pro runs $99 last I checked and it couldn’t be simpler to use: upload the multiple images, convert to HDR, tweak the settings until the picture looks great. That easy.
This is also a long way of saying, “I have no idea of any service that you can send the pics to” 🙂

Jim,
Are there vendors that provide HDR services to broker websites where we send them the regular photos with the multiple exposures and they send us HDR pics back?
Thanks
Rajeev

I have been using HDR for my real estate photography for a few months, and I think the results are pretty amazing. My clients love it, and their sellers love it as well. Check it out: http://www.nashuavideotours.com/virtualtours/sample/harvard/branded.html

Any camera that allows you to mess with the exposure.
The best option, however, is one that lets you do Bracketing.
Bracketing has the camera take 3 (or more) pics in one instant that all have different exposures.
This makes it easier to get shots wrapped up without having to constantly change the settings between snaps.

Thank you for the post, Jim. Can’t wait to try this out. What sort of camera would you need to produce these results? Here’s another HDR posted on my blog:

HDR for real estate photos is a definite way to go. I frequently spend a lot of time cleaning up overexposed window shots. When the photographers remember to take multiple photos for these types of scenes, I’m able to turn out much higher quality photos for my clients.
Would love to see some of your HDR tips!
