Some of my HDR attempts

Some are a little (lot) bolder than others. Some more subtle. Just playing around, trying to get more comfortable with the process. I've played around with it before but I've been spending more time at it lately. I used PhotoFXlab/Topaz w Adjust and B&W effects, as well as Topaz through Photoshop. I played around with both. Depending on the photo, could be a Nikon D40, D3100 or a D3200. I shot in RAW and JPG. I also played around with Picasa 3 to get some effects.

Mostly, I wuz jus' seein' sumptum.

I have more ...lots more. lol

Even with a tripod I manage to screw it up somehow.

Some I could fix well enough to work with. Some not.
