    I had no idea it was that easy to accomplish!

    I love and hate HDR. Sometimes it can be used to achieve great effect, but I've seen some seriously overdone HDR. It seems to work well with landscapes, especially pictures taken at dusk and dawn. Regardless, very nice guide!

    THIS. I'm the same way, but it's been so overdone as of late, I've just decided to kind of cross my arms and sneer at HDR for the moment.

    DIGG loves HDR, and I see so much over done sub par HDR on there, it kind of burned me out.

    But maybe I'll give it a shot myself. Great guide, very informative.

    I think HDR is one of those things you hate until you do one yourself, and then you're like "oh wow, I made that? Awesome!" and you become a fan :D

    Excellent article! This technique is very similiar to doing a pre-exposure with film, and as a recent film to digital convert I've been looking for the digital equivalent. Cheers!
