    Default Playing around with HDR

    I've recently discovered HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography and have wasted many hours at the computer manipulating very ordinary photos into very ordinary HDR photos. Has anyone else done any HDR work and if so what program/s do you use.
    If anyone is interested in technical data (f stop, shutter speed, camera, lense, etc) on the photos below I'll be happy to post it.

    Are you using one of the pieces of software that simulates HDR from a single image, or are you combining a number of images?

    I have tried both and never really come up with anything outstanding, although I know others who have.

    Hi all

    Have played around with HDR using Photomatix for a while now.

    Here's my latest effort. It was made using 5 exposures, processed once using the enhancer then processed again using the exposure fusion option. The resulting two files were than merged using Photoshop
