The title says it all. Seeing some recent posts here on the subject, and knowing very little about it, I thought of giving it a try.

This is with the trial version of Photomatix, hence the watermarks. I will buy it now, and get clean finished shots.

This was shot with a Nikon D70, shooting regular jpg files. Lens was a Nikkor AF 80-200 F2.8 ED, hand held, at 80 mm; 1/200 sec. Autobracketing of three shots; regular exposure, and +/- 2 stops, in multi-shot mode. The D70 doesn't have much of a buffer, so it probably shoots at around 1 frame per second.

The first shot is with no processing, straight out of the camera. Following are three HDR shots, all processed in Photomatix. I did a regular shot, a more extensively processed shot, and a smoothed out shot. All were saved as jpgs, and later downsized significantly for posting here.

Comments and suggestions welcome. MD, your turn now!
