Here's my attempt at an HDR image. It's from a single NEF file, rather than multiple images. I've been following this group for some time, but this is my first post. Thanks to the group for steering me to Photomatix Pro. The results are more satisfying than my first attempts using Photoshop. Gonna have to buy myself a license. HDR's sparking my interest in photography again after leaving a 25-year career in photojournalism.

Some pretty good-looking HDRs in here lately I think. 
I'll drop in a couple of my recents here (hotlinked from my photoblog site) --
Following two shots are HDR via tone mapping in Photomatix Pro:
And this shot is HDR via exposure blending, in Photomatix Pro:
I had wanted a more natural look on this mounted horse photo, and in the original RAW, that light reflection off the skyscraper in the background caused some serious shadows and contrast issues. I found the blending method more helpful here than the tone mapping method at getting a more optimal dynamic range.

I agree. In fact I thought for some time that videogames have an odd quality that I didn't like. A sort of hand drawn texture or something. Then I saw these photo's and found they are the same. So now I know what games do that I don't like!
I do like some of the subtle photo's though.
I love this. Admittedly I am partial to photos with guitars in them, but this is a great use of HDR - I would not have guessed it was HDR, just simply that you had great lighting and did some good post work.
Wow, valdore, those are SPECTACULAR!!! I love the lights streaking across the frame on the first one...they're very subtle, but add a lot to the photo. Also, in the second one, the jacket of the guy with the loudspeaker looks really cool, almost like a computer render. I guess some people don't like that look; I think it looks fantastic.
What city is that from?

thanks! the first two are downtown Kansas City, Missouri (not Kansas) within the recent couple of weeks or so, and the last one with the mounted police is in or near Times Square in New York last October.
Winglass Bay, Tasmania
Hi All,
Thought some of you might like this one of a recent trip to Tasmania, AUS. Created from RAW.
Let me know what you think!

I really love these pics, how you have done this? I am sure that you had used some graphics softwares for this.....What is that software? Really cool and attractive ones,.... If you can have such a talent, you can setup some ARTS exhibition and earn more man.... best of luck....Some pretty good-looking HDRs in here lately I think.

Really awesome guys, I really love those pics, I wanna take prinouts and hang in my welcome room wall.... , Very nice....

That's Colorado! I'd recognize that mountain anywhere. Judging by the angle...look like somewhere north of Golden? Although the sprawl makes it look more like Broomfield or something...
Brighton Beach
Hi All,
Went down to Brighton Beach here in Melbourne, Australia the other day and took a few pics of the beach boxes. Here are my favorites, but there are more on my flickr page (all made from RAW).
Enjoy!

Hi guys, I've got a ton of HDR's I've put up on my mobileme gallery, and being lazy I'm not uploading here. So here's a link to about 20-30 HDR's

any C&C would be awesome.
