HDR Fun
I can't wait to get back home to the red rocks of the Southwest, but I'm actually growing fond of the Texas Hill Country. I decided to head out to Guadalupe State Park yesterday to enjoy a day off. The river there has a mysterious, almost eerie feel to it, thanks to the slow moving water and large cypress trees. I thought the conditions were right for a little HDR photography. Enjoy.

Great photos!
Something I had planned on getting into a few years back but this thing called life interrupted me. Maybe I'll catch the bug and try my hand at it one day.

It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.

Agreed also, outstanding!
Any tips? Always wanted to try, have yet to do so.

I'm no pro, but I can offer a few suggestions. Not every scene is right for HDR, but you can always try and see how it works out. My simple tips.
1 - Get familiar with using bracketing on your camera (Bracketing helps you easily get the combination of correctly exposed, underexposed, and overexposed images) You will also have better success and more flexibility if you shoot in RAW format.
2 - Tripod is a must
3 - Consider using a polarizing filter, I usually do, especially when water is involved.
4 - Find a software program that helps you easily blend the photos. Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro and many others have HDR functions, but I prefer using Photomatix Pro and then fine tuning in Photoshop or another software afterwards. Learning the software and getting the photos tuned to your taste may be the hardest part.
5 - Have fun. It takes some hit and miss to learn what scenes will work best with HDR and which will not.
