Photo Sharing; HDR

[ShadeRF]

It's the Photoshop I'm missing then .... and probably a lot of skill to be developed on my part too Oh and currently 'missing' Lightroom now that I've broken it

Do you do some work on the images in LR first before you export to P/Pro, or do you just export from there and then back in to finish it off? Sorry about all the questions.

I do edit a bit to get a nice set of base images in LR to send over to Photomatix. Then I save as a 16bit tiff and open in Photoshop.

I've been curious about HDR for some time now and have been meaning to try my hand at it. I have to say, if I can get my pictures to come out half as good as rdunative, wbeem, and mrcricket, I'll be very happy. When I think of how an HDR picture should look in my head and then look at pictures done by you three, your pictures are exactly how I think HDR should be done. I know that a lot of people are being creative, trying different things out, have a different vision of HDR than the one that I have, or are just experimenting and learning on their own, but to me there seems to be a fine line that can be crossed when an image goes the over saturated/contrast route.

I'm still learning my Sony a57 and it has built in HDR. I know a majority of you do your own HDR in post process. How does in-camera HDR differ from post processing?

With post processing you control what you want. With in camera processing, the camera decides what it thinks you want.
