I do not understand HDR. I have made a couple using 3 and 5 exposures. I just don't undestand what I'm supposed to do with it once I merge to HDR.

With your photo, the car looks kinda neat but it's all overexposed with highlights and the background/environment is all fubar'ed. Is that what it's supposed to look like?

The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

Basically you're looking to get the picture as close to "real life" as possible in terms of what the human eye can see.

Well when you merge the images you create this ONE image with tones of INFORMATION. Then I use tone maping to create the type of picture i want.

I like the second picture more. The bricks and driveway look almost 3 dimensional.

Nice work on the second photo, I've been testing the waters of HDR with my new Canon 50D hoping to get some up once I find something worth shooting. Which program did you use photomatrix??

I won't quote that because your pic is enormo-big-obese-astic.

BUT...do you know the process on taking HDR photos? If not then I suggest going through a simple tutorial I found on google to get you started...and then from there it only gets better/more technical. Photomatix makes it a breeze though.

I will start off by asking if you took at least 3 different pictures in 3 different exposures? Note: Take a look at some of A. Mair's incredible HDR pics in the Photography thread. Here is mine...its big too!!!!

I used Photoshop Imageraw to make three different pictures of the same thing with different exposures and put them together with photomatix.
