Downtown Mendocino in HDR

Downtown Mendocino [HDR]
Originally uploaded by densaer
My attempt at HDR photography this weekend was less than successful. Out-of-date software that wasn't aware of the 40D I now shoot with, combined with very windy conditions that moved vegetation in between exposures meant that it wasn't anything I'd be terribly proud of.

However, I found this set of exposures this evening while going through some of this weekend's shots and it turned out pretty good as an HDR, if I do say so myself.

I prefer rendering HDR shots in that surrealistic way you can get - some are more biased towards more "natural" looking scenes, but if I wanted natural, I'd just shoot a normal photo!

Tell me about HDR. Is there a good link with an explanation you recommend?

It's essentially a computer graphics technique where I composite multiple images of the same scene that were shot at different exposures. The Wiki article has all sorts of information and history on the technique. You can see a bunch of my HDR work here:

You still using Photomatix? I'm not impressed with it's image alignment anymore, but I can't get things going with Hugin, which I'm using for panoramas and will *theoretically* do HDR processing as well, and uses some external programs that are great at alignment.

Oh, and qtpfsgui, but it crashes when I try to run it (gotten from Fink).
