    Some of them look a little over-done, but the first couple with the car and all the train track shots are incredible -- surreal looking.

    1400 x 900 - it's widescreen, I'm not sure what your aspect ratio is but anything a tad larger than that will work as well (I can crop to widescreen)

    Thanks I need to get my brother's Canon Rebel DSLR and give this a shot.. any pointers for a HDR rookie?

    Re: Few Amazing HDR Shots Today

    I just purchased a Nikon D60...ive never owned a digital camera in my life so pretty much anyone should be able to get this right...it is pretty simple...

    the concept is you take 2-8 pictures (the more the better) all at different shutter speeds so that you get a large range of lighting...

    then you use a program called "Photomatix" which is available online to download...you select the 2-8 files you want to use...it combines them and then you have free reign over the color curves and tone mapping...

    it takes a little while to figure out what all of the settings change but when you start to get the hang of it the possibilities are endless...all of those pics i took were completely photoshop free...all using natural lighting

    if you would like i can send you a few of the tutorial sites i used but none of them really helped me beyond understand the basic concept i already explained to you...the best things as you can see from my pictures are metal, wood, dirt, clouds, and paint...if you want to know anything else feel free to ask...

    good stuff - though i think some of the car shots need taming down a bit.

    I'm learning HDR stuff now - using my Canon EOS 400D

    Just need to get a good tripod now!

    The 3rd-6th pictures look like they belong on a velvet painting like the ones you pick up in Tijuana.

    Pretty cool technique. Some of those look really cool.

    shoot the shot in raw, process it in photoshop with different exposures, save em as tiff's and bring em into photomatrix

    shots look good as far as carity and composition, the tone mapping is definatley on the extreme side,

    Re: Few Amazing HDR Shots Today

    looking good windextor! the more you shoot, the quicker you start to see what types of photos work well & don't work well for HDR. It's such a cool tool to play around with! I like how HDR really pulls out the details in shadows and reflections. i think i went pretty overboard with it when i first started taking HDR shots. but recently, i've been using it more to just accent certain areas in my shots.

    btw... i love the railroad track shots! good luck & keep it up!
