Thank you Gene51. We know what you can do. There are some members who don't have anything positive to add to the thread and should move on. They think that they know it all. Just ignore them.
There are other members on here like me who are still learning and so rely on you and others to steer us in the right direction, so thank you all for devoting your time. It is only by looking and learning that we will improve and are the silent majority, but there comes a time when we have to speak up, like now.

Thanks! I know you guys are out there, which is why I spend a few minutes a day doing this. Time to give back.
If you look out of the window on the door, you can see that the scene outside is blown out. It's just not obvious in this photo because it's a small area in the overall indoor scene.
Amen to that. Some here seem to think they are the masters and only they can get the shot right in one try. The image has a LOT of lighting issues. Under exposed interior and a blown out window. Unless that was the intention of the shot. Bracketing would have solved this and would have had a lot more detail.

Kinda like this?
Playing around with HDR using a 10mm lens on a D200, inside a restaurant before hours. Not staged.

Look at that, you actually captured the entire dynamic range of the scene!
What a surprise! So much for the HDR/Bracketing naysayers . . . I've learned in photography and in most things, it's best to keep an open mind. Cognitive dissonance is a very serious handicap to learning. All too many have it and they don't even know they are sufferers.
This is approximately the correct exposure for the interior, and it was one of the 3 I used to make the HDR merge. Taken in 2008 using a wonderful Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 and a D200. . .
first of all, bracketing only works for still shots. in the film days it was for hoping one would be close to what you wanted. today bracketing is good for hdr, but can be done in a subtle way.
Did anyone mention the following about bracketing for HDR. Put your camera on a tripod. Use aperture mode. You want your aperture to stay the same so your depth of field does not change. Let the shutter speed do exposure bracketing.
