First HDR Attempt
by Josh Hed

This is my first attempt at an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. It is a composite of 5 photos taken at different exposures.
I used the File > Automate > Merge to HDR feature in Photoshop CS3 to generate the composite.
I then converted it to 16 bit and adjusted the curves to achieve the desired effect. After some tweaking of the saturation and sharpness,
I finally converted to an 8 bit image and saved as a JPEG.

I was hoping for a more striking result, such as the ones you'll find on Wikipedia,
but I didn't think it was bad for a first attempt.

All comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Looks crisp and detailed, especially the boards on the barn. I may have to try this :-)!
