My 1st HDR pics. Don't laugh. lol

I picked up my 1st dslr cam yesterday. The location is crap but now that I know how to make an HDR pic I will choose some better locations.

to make use of the different "shutter speeds", you need to take photos where there would be over and underexposed areas in a photo. Combining them into one shot where you can see all areas clearly that couldn't exist otherwise.

Snapping something mid day doesn't do anything besides making the photo look cartoony.

Damn. We'll have to keep our eyes open for another deal somewhere... I was set against having them, but they do look pretty good.
