Firstly, I apologize for the Photomatix advertising, but I'm just started to get involved with HDR images and wanted to give the program a go before I buy it (which i probably will) and unfortunately the put watermarks on the files!

I combined -2, -1, 0, +1 files to make this image and left the Photomatix settings on Default. I was very surprised by the intensity of the colour on the combined image and had to lower the saturation!

I know that it doesn't look real, but I used timed exposures and we all know how different things can look when that happens! With HDR the colours, shadows and highlights are intensified and takes a bit of time to get used to.

The buildings are near my home. A vacant land is being 'prepared' for something maybe a car park or a shopping mall. It gives us a few of the backs of the buildings which often display a wealth of colour and detail.
