Todd,
I really like your approach to photography.
This shot is very clean and a not overdone HDR (if it is an HDR, could be color touching) as many photographers do.
I know everyone of us have our own approach, its what makes photography an art but in these you have captured what I would call a true HDR. Well done.
My eyes are immediately drawn to the circular ceiling fixtures, fans? nautral light elements?
Drawn to them cause every time I walk through there I never though to look up.

Nice job Tom. I think the HDR came out very well in this shot -- it doesn't have the overprocessed look that some of them tend to have. Nice composition as well.

Regards,

Boris

I'm not sure if this is really the right or wrong way to do this kind of thing. I never seem to have good luck with merging files to make an actual HDR and find that my 'selective repair' works better for me. For erasing I just do what works best for the image. Since the HOB sign was a nice geometric shape I just used the straight-line-lasso-tool thingy in CS3 to select it, feather it slightly, and then erased with a soft brush until I liked the look. The shot below I just erased by hand since it's such a random area. By pushing the bottom dark image before hand to get a similar overall exposure it's not a big deal if you color outside the lins a bit. Hope this makes sense-

Well, that's essentially what I do (I asked because I have a Sid's shot that has been giving me difficulties when I try to process it), but for some reason I have never tried the lasso tool! That is a great idea. Just out of curiosity, why don't you use layer masks as opposed to the eraser? I know they pretty much work the same functionally, but it seems that type of 'destructive' editing is a big 'no-no' among the PS elite.

Oh, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can never accomplish anything with Photoshop's built in merge to HDR. With CS3, I almost always just get an overly flat image that has roughly the same dynamic range (maybe a bit more) than the 0 image!

Here is the same shot reworked in CS5 HDR with minimal tweaking...5 Shots -2EV to +2EV
