First real attempt at HDR

[tpickles118]

I finally purchased Photomatrix tonight to start playing with HDR... All of these shots were single shots, RAW format, manipulating the exposure in Photoshop... Just wanted to get some feedback on these...

1) 7 exposures

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated...

I guess it really depends on what you're going for with these. In all honesty though, I can't say any really blow me away, sorry! :confused: The first shot looks like it was taken on a heavily smoggy day, that was my first thought.

Hey... No worries... I guess there are two ways to use it... Either really dramatic or subtle... I do enjoy the dramatic scenes that I see posted... But I'm finding that it can really enhance the detail and the vividness of shots as in number 2 and 4... Thanks for your comments though...
