Do I need to do smaller bracketing stops? Is there software that can help with the assembly? Am I missing something else?
In order:
- no. 2-stop brackets are normal. Try -5, -2, 0, 2, 5. Smaller stops just add images (my perspective is doing spherical panoramas indoors, with window pull) and potentially increase artefacts.
- photomatix pro is the gold standard. LR 6.n.n also has an alignment / hdr feature, but is less flexible (and I haven't used it)
- maybe. If your subjects are close enough, then fill-flash (to reduce the dynamic range) is the answer, and that means anything from an on-camera flash to an off-camera bedsheet hung from a support with several speedlights behind it.
- otherwise, try pulling up the shadows in post-processing (shooting 14-bit raw)
