How cn I take an HDR image with the Nikon D60?

Yes you can if you know the limitations of HDRI. You will need a tripod Your subject must be static You must choose an exposure that allows you to adjust your OE, NE and UE exposures to be determined by the shutter speed. Adjusting the f/stops will cause shift in the scenes depth of field making the resulting image look funny. And of course you will need a program which will combine the three images together. (Photoshop CS2 and CS3 is but one such program)

Almost any camera will do. Some guidelines: 1. You will need to take a few images (generally 2 to 4 images) at different shutter speeds to bracket the exposure, enough to properly expose the dimmest and brightest areas. 2. You need to shoot in manual mode, including disabling Auto ISO mode. Only adjust shutter speed. You don't want to adjust aperture as this will change your depth of field. 3. It's helpful to shoot in raw mode as the jpg images will have an altered contrast curve which may mess up the tone mapping program. 4. Shoot from a good tripod. Your images must overlay nearly perfectly. Some HDRI programs will align images, but best not to rely on this. If you do have movement, you can use a panorama program to overlay the images, then crop in an image editing program. 5. Subject matter must not move. Leaves blowing in the wind are a no-no. 6. Use a program to do the tone mapping. There are many programs out there. I've used qtpfsgui http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/ . A little difficult to figure out, but does the job and offers many different mapping options.

It's nice to see that this is still a free country where anyone can post an answer,even though they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Obviously - from the other answers - this can be done. The D60 should have an auto-bracket option. Set it to take 5 exposures from 2 under to 2 over. Use any of the HDI programs mentioned above. If you are experienced with RAW, this is not a bad place to use it. You might like the results of the in-camera image processing with D-Lighting, which you can find on the retouch menu. It's not as dramatic as HDR, but you can pull some detail out of the shadows this way. I don't think the D60 has ACTIVE D-Lighting to use in the shooting mode, though. Good luck.

You can do that with any camera--actually, it's accomplished by a program like Photoshop, which merge all those photos together, like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/2691305849/sizes/l/

Yes the D60 does have Active D lighting here is an example of the results.(This is not my image) The first one is from a D60 second is from a D300 http://flickr.com/photos/stephenk1977/2500142484/ http://flickr.com/photos/timkeller/2297481602/

You Can't... High Dynamic Range Imaging ( HDRI ) Is accomplished after you've taken the photo, through various editing. You can't create such an effect with the camera itself. You can just take the photography, upload it to photoshop, and work on it there.
