heres my first attempt at hdr, not the best but at least im getting used to it a bit so i can prctice more

Looking good. Hoping to give it a go for myself soon

Here's my 1st too. Been trying to do it on CS2 with 3 raw pics and merging them but keeps giving me an error message saying there not dynamic enough?
Will have to play around with this though, with some better pics.

the last two don't seem to be HDR's,

Try it with photomatix

just with three different exposed .jpegs

they do seem HDR ish, but photomatix is the way forward.

My 1st go....
Panasonic DMC-TZ3 / 9mm

That's awesome, it looks like a painting!

i used photomatix for mine, but i done mine from just one RAW file as i didnt have a tripod

Yeh, single RAW HDRs seem to come out like very well exposed images.

Multiple shots using different exposures come out looking unreal.

I did do that one photomatix but with one raw image (x3 adjusted). I agree its nothing compared to the others. Will need a bit of playing around and testing using different pics to get a better result.

i might try some night time HDRs as i haven't done it yet. but doing 3 seperate inages at 20 seconds exposure things in the picture are going to move like trees or anything so it's gonna be really bad ghosting.

ah well i'll give it a go, i use RAW and JPEG mode so alls good lol

Long exposure HDRs could look great! give them a try

Heres my 1st HDR altered as I didnt tone map the 1st

Also tried it on another two of my pics. When compared to the originals at normal exposure it does make quite a difference.

Last photo is in Italy isnt it?

yeah its the Trevi fountain in Rome.
