Wow, all of these pics are really nice...

Too bad my stupid POS of a camera can't take pics for s***.
(Kodak Easyshare C643... pos)

Unrealer, you have some good pics but I don't see anything that looks like HDR in those last two. All I see are two pics of the same place taken at two different times (hence the clouds, the sun and the color).

my first attempt to hdr, in photomatix, trial...

lol..

Your file of 200.1 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 200.0 KB for this filetype.

Wow, excellent pics guys, I have a POS camera (doesn't even have a macro mode!) and no tripod, so all I can do is look.

Yea this thread is pissing me off. HDR is to make good pictures great. Not to make your snapshot into a work of art. If it doesn't impress you when you look at it on your camera, chances are you should move on and try again. This is why I said earlier that HDR is often considered gimicky among serious photographers.

[Soulburner]

HDR lets you capture an image with proper exposure, something a camera is very limited in doing. You can only expose for the entire scene - but what if you could combine different areas of the picture at different exposures to come up with a near perfect image? That is what HDR is all about. It can come much closer to reproducing what we see with our eyes.

It is up to you what you want the end result to look like. If you are using Photomatix, you can go for a realistic look, or a fantasy world look. It is totally up to you, and both types of pictures have their place in an HDR discussion.

Testing out HDR using the new Rebel XTI I got for my birthday:

[KingDingeling]

You don't happen to have the first pic in large do you Metric?

Same question from same town of the world lol.

I like both very much, it would be great if you could provide them in a high resolution

[KingDingeling]

LOL Arne, how funny is that? Where abouts do you live?

Whoa, got some dust/smudges there bro! Nice shot though!
Imho, snow covered scenes aren't the best for HDR..

If it's that glowing white spot in the middle, it's actually a snow flake that suck to my lens and didn't melt since it was around 23F outside in the morning. edit: I see the other random dark, dust spots around the top, I think it's something the HDR process pulled up (could be snow), since it doesn't show up on my other shots, hmmm...

Thanks . The weather has been somewhat boring the past few weeks (overcast and rain). Hopefully I'll be able to get a few nicer shots in the next few weeks as the weather seems to be getting better.
