First try at HDR

Ok, Not done HDR before, thought I would play.

Here are the original image and the HDR version.

Suggestions/comments welcome please!

Doesn't work as great with long exposure shots as I understand it, but am so over HDR now anyway. Try long exposures and light painting instead and the results will be loads more fun and creative.

I've played with light painting, yet to get a shot I love. Will keep trying.
I thought I would have a go at HDR, I liked the original and decided it was a good candidate for trying HDR.

No need for HDR here, the first image looks just fine. If you feel the shadows need a bit of a boost, shadow/highlight command in PS can nicely fix that for you.
