How do you do that!

Damn I knew I should have brought fireworks and some boats with me last night:)

My first attempt at HDR I tried to stay subtlish/natural- 3 exposure +/normal/-

I can see this being handy for posed late evening FF’ing shots

Interesting how even though the water was different in each exposure there is very little or no ghosting I can see.

Those are two great pictures.

Will –

My guess is the photographer took a bracketed shot on the fastest possible exposures; although being a night shot those still couldn’t be that fast.

Connor – there is a good explanation here of HDR process and Concept- with a Photoshop and alternatively Photomatrix, bit long, but in depth. –

I imagine some of the Photoshop process may apply to Elements, I don’t use Photoshop as an image editor so it’s just a quess.

The image you posted would certainly be a candidate for an HDR approach I think.

Interestingly there a bunch of ways to approach this- I bet Zach’s works great as well. A while ago Fuji tried to look at some of this extended dynamic range, in a limited way, with a sensor that had small receptors in addition to regular sensors, tuned to capture highlight data alone. I wonder how long it will be before we have sensors/in camera software

alot of HDRs look really fake to me especially that first one the trick is to make them exacatally what your eye saw
