Taken on the Disney Dream.... For now i believe it was the 3rd or 4th floor just coming of the stairs into the atrium i think....
 


I guess I need to learn what HDR is...:confused3
Scott has a fantastic demonstration of HDR (High Dynamic Range) for the pictures he took of Pelican Plunge - Not sure whether I can link to it or not, but maybe Scott can :)

Basically when you capture an image in varying light some of the picture generally turns out in shadow and some turns out overly exposed due to sunlight. When you take HDR pictures you take a range (usually 3 or more) pictures at varying exposures to capture all variations of the light. Then you use a package such as Photomatix Pro or Photoshop to merge the images together and pick out the best contrasts in the all the images to make a new one. You can adjust the settings which can give a very surreal feel - It can be an acquired taste but I personally love the HDRs images that are over tweaked to give an almost painted feel.

Thanks! Just a little bit of color adjustment and you would be in good shape. A little bit of level adjustment would do it. I usually use the Auto Tone, Auto Color and/or Auto Levels in Photoshop. Sometimes I end up getting weird results but most of the time it works.
