1. Use a tripod
Because HDR uses 3 photos taken at different exposures and then combine their best qualities to produce a better-looking photo, it’s best done using a tripod to prevent any movement while taking the shot.
2. Know when not to use HDR.
Especially in smartphone cameras, it’s really tempting to enable HDR all the time whenever taking pictures. Though HDR, when used correctly, makes for an amazing photo, it’s not the best every time. If the scene where the lighting is fairly even from shadows to highlights, you don’t need to do HDR.

3. When to use HDR
HDR is perfect during sunrise or sunset, especially when you’re photographing against the sun. Use it to photograph architecture or man-made objects. If you want to bring out details in craftsmanship, use HDR.
