HDR

A couple weeks ago I discovered a cool editing technique refered to as HDR, or High Dynamic Range editing. Basically, 3 or more pictures (underexposed, properly exposed, and overexposed) are compressed together to give a wider range of colors in the final picture. Depending on how you edit them, you can make them very real, or give them a little bit of "fantasy" edge, or a "hand-drawn" look. I'm kind of digging the "hand-drawn" look for the moment:

I know they aren't prefect, but I think they're a decent start. :) Now I just have to figure out how to make it quit looking like it's either dark and stormy or nighttime out...
