HDR or Flash or maybe something better

HDR or High Dynamic Range is a process of taking multiple shots at different exposures and then using a process called fusion to give us a scene that more closely resembles what the eye sees.

This also enables us to see what is outside a window, unfortunately this is overdone and we end up with a photo that mare closely resemble a Normal Rockwell painting, pleasant but not true to form and the windows, although not as blown out still leave something to be desired.

Other photographers rely on flash which is excellent if you place several off camera flashes and balance them well and can avoided added shadows.

I have started to do a Hybrid of HDR and Flash that I feel comes the closest reflecting what a home interior should look like.
