Most of the samples I've seen so far look kind of freaky to me. The samples
in that article look better.

Agreed. If used properly like the bridge photo in my link, it looks like it
can do a world of wonders. I'm going to try out PS CS2's capabilities with
HDR and see what I come up with.

The German news magazin "Der Spiegel" has run a couple of articles on
HDR with some nice images. Some pictures are available he

http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/0,5538,18687,00.html

They tout a program called Photomatix for processing the images.

For those who can read German, the latest article is he

http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0...460727,00.html

and contains links to additional articles and photos.

The bridge photo suffers badly from the halo artifact: it looks like
the bridge is "glowing". Better DR compression techniques exist; see:

I think many of those pictures prove Greg's point. HDR techniques have
to be applied carefully in order to not look strange. While those
images illustrate what HDR can do, I think a side-by-side comparison of
more subtly applied HDR would be more effective.

I have done a few of these my self.

Some look good others not so much. Also keep in mind I made these using
a 5mp point and shoot cammera and have not done any using my new Cannon
XTi. I think once i get some time to do some using the RAW mode they
should look much better.

I have never been able to get it to look right.

I have tried to do some HDR images but for some reason they always
look so unreal. Probably I do somethin wrong with settings cos I have
seen some really good looking ones too. But mostly peoples use that
effect too much on their HDR photos IMHO.
