They are a little overdone, but I still like 'em for my first attempt.

Heck, this one went better than my second attempt. I am still not sure what happened there.

Hey great first attempt! I got lucky with my first attempt too. Im scared to try again so I dont feel too discouraged.
Did you only use photoshop or photomatrix? I do not have photomatrix yet, but I am hoping to get it soon.

Good luck.

Matix. Photomatix.

I'm glad you didn't overdo it like most people do when they download photomatix.

Thanks guys. I normally don't like the overdone HDR look, and even these are a bit much. Certain times it can look cool, but I was happy with these. Thanks for lookin!

BTW- These were done in photomatix.

It looks a lot better than any of my first attempts! Are you using the newest version of Photomatix? There is "onboard" noise reduction that might help you, and then also running a noise filter in Photoshop after generating might help too...

But over great first HDR!

they all look a little warm to me but I like the first one and Megadima's edit except for the noise. It would be best to remove some noise 1st before processing the HDR. I wasn't to happy with the way PM performs Noise reduction, there is not enough control with it IMHO.
