It's my wife snoozing on the rear veranda at Kenninji temple in Kyoto. It's one of my favorite temples. A good exponent of HDR (and Photomatix) is Trey Ratcliff at http://stuckincustoms.com/. I find some of his work a little "busy", but there are many inspired shots in there too. And if you decide to buy Photomatix then check out the HDR tutorial on his site, as there is a discount code for it. Good luck! Hi Ben – I like the bottom photo a lot, too.

I'll take a look at downloading Photomatix and getting the hang of it. I haven't tried doing a lot of HDR photos before, but this might be another approach. Now if I could only afford a Canon 5DMII That bottom shot I think is the best! I’ll take a look at downloading Photomatix and getting the hang of it.

Just got to keep reminding myself not to go overboard... RedYeti - I'd recommend it, there's almost no learning curve. Definitely another nice tool in the box. Tornadoes28 - true, very true. And thank goodness for it. Clint – you’re right, careful selection is the key! Just got to keep reminding myself not to go overboard…

Me and the wifey have been admiring your blog since I found a few weeks ago. You seem to make it to some amazing locations a lot of people could only wish they could see. Plus you can actually write. And yeah, Photomatix can feel like cheating at times. But finding the right spot with a lot of dynamic range to get photos like what you did in your first photo is not exactly easy either.
