Just got me a small tripod and wanted to try out the HDR photo tutorial by Trey Ratcliff (from the tutorial section). Top image combined from those three below.. image itself is nothing special but I think it is interesting how suddely both the back, middle and forground can be made visible this way (without any extra lighting).

Thanks Rune, you are close .. but this is more like Østerbro than Vesterbro - Svanemøllevej
(Danish smalltalk: Er du fra vesterbro? Billedet her er udsigten fra vores stue, vi bor på Svanemøllevej et godt stykke op mod Hellerup kirke hvis det siger dig noget)

Ah that looks very warm and wonderful. Fantastic feeling
I got a similar bright spot on one image I made today. Not as bright though. Can you see the bright area under the chair on this image here?
Not sure where that comes from either. I guess it have to be part of one of the images combined... I was not aware that you could do this with HDRShop also. Thanks for the info.

You can combine the LDR shots into HDR and then do the tonemapping there. There are lots of controls, hence - lots of possibilities!

I like this guy's work, very natural looking without any of that crappy glowing effect you see on so many 'hdr' images:

(in reply to danish smalltalk - jeg er gammel vesterbroer, og syntes det lignede skydebaneparken, men kunne ikke få det til at stemme med farven på husene. Rart at se at der er andre i kongeriget der prøver kræfter med m~r.) and to the non-danes - sorry about the OT'ing
