My first attempt at HDR photography...
 

I did this in about an hour of free time this weekend. My camera is nothing spectacular. I don't have it handy to tell you the exact model number, but it is just a Canon ELPH point and shoot digital camera that is like 5 years old. I used a tripod that I picked up at the local Goodwill store for like $6, and I took this picture at a public park parking lot on the bay a short 2 minute drive from my house. I took about 16 shots at varying degrees of exposure from -2 to +2, and I used the photomatix software to process the images. The following are several of the results from default presets in the software. I may make this a little hobby and try to get better at it. Please forgive the file size. I hope you enjoy...

Not bad for a 1st attempt. The sky is a little weird. It actually helps if there were a few more clouds in the sky for HDR. Next time, try and frame shot that's not such a generic 3/4 view. Get low or go way high. The image will look more interesting if you showed an angle you normally wouldn't see. Last one is too "trippy" but the one before that isn't bad. Just need's some tweeking in PS. There's an HDR thread on here somewhere if you do some searching.
