[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 13929, member: 654"] Taylor, the D3000 does not have an "Auto Bracketing" setting which will make it a little more inconvenient in getting the shots you need for an HDR but still can be done. You will need to go the camera manual mode and use that setting to get your exposures. If you are not familiar with using the Nikon manual mode you can go the the forum for the D90 and read the thread on "Using the Manual Mode Setting for Dummies". (I don't know your level of experience in using manual mode.) It was written for the D90 but the procedures will be the same. When getting the shots you always need to change the shutter speed to get the different exposures. Do not change the aperture. Changing the aperture for any of the exposures will change the depth of field and the HDR merger will come out blurry. You also don't mention what post processing you will be using to merge the shots into an HDR. Most of them are not that difficult to use. I would recommend starting out merging three shots and get some experience there before branching out into multiple exposures. I would also recommend using a tripod until you get use to making the manual exposure changes.
