How do you take an HDR photo with a Nikon d7000?

Q. I would like to take hdr photos with my Nikon D7000. I am looking for specific instructions on how to set up my camera to take the pictures. I think I want to do: -2.0 EV, 0, +2 EV but I don't know how to set up the bracketing.

A. Read the manual. It tells you in there specifically.On page 109

Does Nikon d7000 rotates its shooting information as you turn the camera on the side and shoot in portrait ?
Q. Does Nikon d7000 rotates its shooting information as you turn the camera on the side and shoot in portrait ? Like d60

A. No, why would you want such a thing?

All the data you need is in the viewfinder and once you have your exposure set properly, moving the camera from horizontal (landscape) to vertical (portrait) has no effect on the exposure.

When shooting sports, we get a good light reading at the beginning of the game and use the camera in the manual mode for the rest of the game using that exposure setting.

Of course we look at the light meter data from time to time in case something changes a little, but all in all, one exposure is used for the whole game.

Will a Nikon D7000 work for legit music videos?
Q. I want to make music videos, and I have a Nikon D7000. Will that work for great music videos?

A. Well sure, but using a dSLR to shoot video is like trying to use one tool to build a house.

The music videos that were shot in our old studio were shot using a Panasonic AG-HPX250PJ or better.
