This third image (taken near the Lincoln Fields bus station) is not an HDR, but I took it today and it makes me happy.
something new
I've been meaning for some time now to try HDR photography. It seemed to be a little more work than it's worth, and I had mixed feelings about it. Well, I tried it out, and it's not difficult at all. And I am convinced that there are some situations where it really is advantageous....as long as you don't get carried away. I tried to keep them realistic looking. I didn't use a tripod for these, but will next time!
Curious to know what your thoughts are....

I also have been curious about HDR and I certainly like your results, especially the old farmhouse. You shall have to fill me in...Pete
I think you nailed the HDR! I think it's a good technique for real estate shots too - you can bring out all the details.
It might take a little more than good pics to sell that farmhouse -is that an in-law suite on the side?
So what exactly is HDR?

by the way like the hill - clouds are cool
thanks everyone!
C--HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. A camera sensor can't capture the full range of light in some situations. An HDR image is actually a composite of more than one image (usually 3-5). Each image is taken to correctly expose different parts of a scene. The merged image takes the "best" data from each image and puts it into one. It creates images that are closer to how we perceive things in some circumstances. That's the abbreviated version! So the 2 images (the Peace Tower and the farmhouse) are actually composites of 3 pictures each. Woot!
