Heres my 1st that came out decent. The sky is underexposed. Typical California weather, not a cloud in the sky.
It was taken with a D40 RAW image.

Two more from the Oregon Coast. Single tonemapped images still count...right?

I'm assuming that's one tone mapped RAW image right, not JPG?
Nice bike there. Looks a little underexposed in the upper-right, but other than that, looks great.
Nate: Yes, tonemapped with a single RAW file.
I just have to step in to say I love these pictures. Didn't know you could make such vivid and detailed pictures with such unique atmosphere with HDR, really nice. Keep posting guys! :up:
Here's one I'm proud of.
Its not bad considering the original.

Are you using a tripod, 2long4u? Does your camera have exposure bracketing?
Nice shots Nate, the second one looks good. I don't think the D40x has bracketing (at least my friends who own one say they don't...)
Another lighthouse shot:

Thanks Metric, and nicely done! I should try shooting in RAW and tone mapping it... do you use Photomatix or a different program for the tone mapping?
I don't know what bracketing is. I don't have a tripod yet. I even tried setting the camera on the table so it didn't move and the HDR came out like crap. The only luck so far is with one pic taken in raw format and changing the exposure.
Bracketing is a setting in the camera. When set, the camera takes a normal exposure, an over exposed, and an under exposed image in a row. If you have the camera set to continuous (burst) mode, you can take three pictures in quick succession, and it then is very easy to make an HDR image, even if you don't have a tripod. I hear the D40 does not have bracketing, so I guess you didn't use bracketing.Quote:

(Back to using Photomatix, that other program does not that good of a job and is harder to use)
Am I getting better?

You need a circular polarizing filter 2long4u, it will remove the horrid glare.
some shots i did over the weekend:

Down at Oregon State University today, seemed like a good chance for a HDR opportunity:

Not nearly as impressive as some of these but here it goes
Power Shot S3, each one taken at -2, 0 and +2 exposure . Combined using Photomatix (as you can see)
