Another first attempt post...

This is my first attempt I wanted to try out using HDR...

I wish I had taken pictures earlier while the sun was going down to take something a little bit more interesting but oh well, maybe another time. I used numerous exposures (more than i've posted) & Photoshop. I would like a honest critique. Thank you.

I think that is a great example of what HDR is intended for without overprocessing with tone mapping.

Hi CameraBuff - I really appreciate your reply, among all these beautiful HDR images, I'm happy I got some word on it. :D
I'm glad it isn't overprocessed on my first try! I tried doing it again, but I think I chose the wrong places to shoot without a lot of lighting in general.

Did you use CS3 for the HDR conversion?

I think you pulled it off nicely, especially when you compare the loss of detail in the 1st shot compared to the HDR.

Thought so since it's not overdone :)
