I think you need to get a scene with quite a bit of contrast between the light and dark areas of the shot. Smoothing and strength are the two sliders which give the funkiest result.
I still haven't been convinced enought to shell out for the full photomatix license yet.

I was convinced to fork out on Photomatix. $140 odd wasn't too bad for what is the best HDR software by far.

This is 7 exposures each a 1/2 stop apart merged in Photomatix...

There's a good comparison of different HDR software here... http://photography-on-the.net/forum/sho ... p?t=900110

She hates the camera, especially the sound of the lens focussing, so she tries to bite it, even from a distance!

What sort of dog is that?

Shes listed with the council as an Australian cattle dog, but she really just a bit of a mutt.

Finally able to get a new lens! Going to splash out (for me anyway) and get an 18-200 Af-s VR ED Nikkor :love:

Can't wait.

Sorted how to make the best HDR photos, this is just using 1 file with changed exposures in photoshop. Came out rather cool still. Managed to get the hang of photomatix.

Trip to a zoo park the other day.
The young male lion stalked us as we pushed our 1 year old in the pram. Naturally I went up and down the path a few times and he followed us along the fenceline. Proper predators

I say Yay so long as its the IS lens.

And that its likely to be replaced very soon.

Its all going to be way more fun that point and shoot - do it up!

Is it much more to go the twin lens kit? Check out the 18-55 before you buy, you might be surprised by how far you can't zoom in with it. I went twin lens kit, and use the bigger lens (80-200?) more than the 18-55, but depends on what you're shooting.

Need a bit of tri-pod help. I've got a Sherpa 450r and it's awesome, but I want to be able to make it so the legs are almost flat, I think it's possible as the legs have ridging on the top where it connects to the tripod base/arm. I can't find any way to get the small lips to lift up so that they hit the next ridge. Any ideas? Pic attached is the lip/ridge i'm talking about.
