We haven't had a shootout for a while, so I drug these 5 shots out.

Here's the EV 0 sample frame:

A scene deserving of HDR. Nice choice.

There is a similar bridge near me that I've been practicing on. :) So what is everyone else using for software to make there versions? I used Photomatix 4.

How can I get this effect in photoshop? Please help!
 
Simply take your shots both over and underexposed by 1 EV. Then put each shot in a layer in photoshop and erase the parts you dont want in each layer. Flatten and thats it. A bit of unsharp mask and its even better.
 
I used Photomatix Pro 4.1 (Beta 3).

I love photomatix. Although photo bucket gave mine a weird greenish hue.
 
Ya I dont know why photo sites limit filesize or at the least file dimensions. Going through places like Photobucket and Tinypic always seems to degrade the image in one way or another. Color shift or soft focus seems to be common.
