Playing with HDR

I’m new to HDR photography, having only seen some fantastic examples of what is possible from sites such as http://www.stuckincustoms.com/. Of course, none of these examples get anywhere close to the brilliance and professional look of really good HDR photography.

All pictures shot with a Nikon D7000 auto-bracketed 3 exposures -1, 0, +1 and then processed together in HDRefex Pro. Minor adjustments to exposure and grain with the help of a few existing presets in the software. The original middle exposure is below the HDR version for each photograph.

    • Thanks!! I’m just very new to HDR and the learning curve does seem a bit daunting. What I need first probably is an understanding of the pictures that make good HDR candidates I suppose :)

      • your scene does help but really almost anything can be an HDR. do you have adobe photoshop? if so adobe has a setting for HDR with presets for more contrast and different effects. :)
