Post your HDR pics!

IMO, this is HDR done "right". Looks a lot like slow Velvia. It's got true blacks, a clean white and even gradual tones with believable color.

Another one of mine. Im trying to nail down the realistic look. I think Im getting better. I brought out all the colors that were invisible in the original.

Thanks Matthew, that's exactly the look I was going for.

Here are some of my HDR's. I use Photomatix to do the tonemapping.

Beautiful work Charlie!

Anyone using Oloneo for RAW or HDR processing?
Their "Real Time Relighting" feature looks pretty amazing.

Thats the reason I too use Photomatix. I dont like over processed photos like the way a majority of HDR photos turn out. Your photos are examples of what HDR is supposed to be. Giving you all of the highs and lows in the same frame. The ones that look cartoony dont do it for me at all. Great job.

Stacked images or a single image that you have made to look 'HDR' by brushing in exposure and contrast?

I used LR/Enfuse free trial in Lightroom. I made virtual copies in LR, over/under exposed and had the original, brought out highlights, then layered

This one is the Key bridge going into Georgetown. Last Thursday was gorgeous. The sky was so blue that the usually green Potomac reflected its color back up. The only way that the Potomac will ever look anywhere close to blue.

Here is one of mine. Not a huge HDR guy unless it looks natural so this is way over the top for me

i also don't usually like the extreme HDR, but i have played with the effect some when stylizing photos:

I'll search through my archives and find some HDR's later. I think the main thing about HDR's that most people don't like it people over"stylize" their photos with them. Its all preference. I try not to use HDR unless its needed. Rule of thumb is if there is a high-contrast scene you are trying to capture, one shot may not be able to capture all of the stops in the scene, THATS when you use HDR. Either way, some nice shots in here. My website is in my signature, the shot of the Altima and Liberty are HDRs

Been a while. A few of late..

Early morning kayak fishing after some Jim Beam

Early morning salmon fishing in Lake Michigan - near Manistique

Pictured Rocks during an easy friday pontoon ride
Size reference, you can barely make out a full grown cormorant taking off inside the cove...
