My home in HDR
I'm just starting to play around with HDR images. This is an HDR image of my parent's house from the backyard. If I remember correctly I combined four or five frames in Adobe Photoshop to create this image.

evan! very well done. those hdr's are so hard to pull off correctly, and so few people do them well. I couldn't even tell with this image, I just thought, wow nice moody lighting, perfect exposure. I guess, rather, that it was many imperfect exposures perfectly combined. Cool man!
Thanks Serge! I definitely see the point of HDR being to more closely approximate what the human eye can see, which is not always the use it is put to. From what I understand the human eye can see approximately 21 stops of dynamic range, whereas typical digital SLRs can only capture 5 to 9 stops worth of dynamic range. Thus, it stands to reason that blending three to five exposures would allow one to create a final image with much of the information the human eye is able to handle. It seems, however, that many people go overboard with HDR and end up with not an image that more closely reflects reality, but one that falls evern further short of what the scene really looked like compared to a non-HDR rendition of it. Such HDR images can be interesting and even beautiful, but they don't not fit with my own photographic goals/aspirations.
