Rather mild HDR from two shots. This is downtown Fort Worth, looking towards the "Sundance Square" area. The building on the left with the trumpeting angels is Bass Performance Hall. These were seat-of-pants metered with my 5D, ISO 200, 17-40mm @ 17mm and f/9.1, one shot @ 2.5s and the other at 8.0s, so almost 2 stops of difference between the two. I wish I had shot the darker one at 2.0s or maybe faster, as Bass Hall is still a bit blown out. But overall I think it looks pretty neat :) Basically Bass Hall and the pink-ish building in the right foreground are from the 2.5s shot and the rest of the scene is from the 8.0s shot. I combined the two in Photoshop by hand. I also cropped the scene at the top since it was just dark sky.
