Those are some wonderful shots. I have my own HDR technique, but it would be really cool if any of those guys/gals would have posted tutorials somewhere.

There’s a HDR automation feature in photoshop…

Censorship kicked in because you posted a software key for others to steal a program. I’ll do it again under the same circumstances, too.

Ah, censorship. How very chinese of you.

A quick Google search for “free hdr software” turns up several prospects. I haven’t tried any of them.

I like hdrwalls.com and have one of the sourcer’s hat at Disney Hollywood (MGM) studios as my desktop. I made one using the photomatrix app and it came out fairly well.

I just posted it to my blog for all to see.

What are all these Photomatix UFOs in the picture? What strange area do you live in, Kevin?

It’s fun. I tried out HDR with Photomatix a few years back when I first grabbed the Panasonic TZ1.

I am pleased that you have discovered the world of HDR photography. Dont junk that Lumix yet; its very versatile camera.

MacWorld recently covered Hydra for $40:

These are simply amazing.

Hot diggity, you’re right Mel! I knew I had a burst mode on the Lumix, but didn’t know about the Auto-bracket feature that varies the exposure range on up to 3 shots. Sweet… playing now!

Kevin,

I think that you have a function called bracketing on your Lumix camera. This allows you to take 3 or 5 consecutive shots each one with a different exposure settings. These images become the input into the HDR software. There are a bunch of HDR apps out there, just google…..
