Default Couple of pics of my daily driver and sons.

It was mid day, so this was not a good time for pics outside.



Another variation of the same photo.














My wife and 4 month old daughter. Obviously my sons are not from her. From my first wife.

I used photomatix on some of these pics. To really nice HDR images you need 3 images of the same photo at different exposures. However I just had one and create some of what is posted.

Before photomatix.



After photomatix using 1 raw file of the image above. I probably could have used photoshop, but photomatix is easier and quicker for this in my opinion.



This one here was created using 3 jpegs. So 3 shots at 3 different exposures.



Another one created using 3 jpegs of the same image at 3 different exposures.

so how does it work? do you superimpose each of the 3 images on each other? does each one have a transparency %?
