This is my first attempt at an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. It is a composite of 5 photos taken at different exposures. I used the File > Automate > Merge to HDR feature in Photoshop CS3 to generate the composite. I then converted it to 16 bit and adjusted the curves to achieve the desired effect. After some tweaking of the saturation and sharpness, I finally converted to an 8 bit image and saved as a JPEG.
I was hoping for a more striking result, such as the ones you'll find on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging), but I didn't think it was bad for a first attempt.
All comments are welcomed and appreciated.
Enjoy.
