Anyone interested in a quick HDR demonstration?

Most of you know about this but for those who don't....Our eyes have a great range in seeing lights and darks but when we try to photograph something such as a room with a bright window and shadowy room, depending on different factors you will probably get a nice photo of the window but the rest of the room will appear dark, or you might get the room nicely lit but the bright window will come out overpowering. Anyway, in this example of HDR (Hight Dynamic Range) I set my camera to automatically take 3 shots at different meter settings. If you don't have that feature you can do it manually. Then I combined the 3 photos in a program (in this case Photomatix....cost me $39 for the essentials) and you can pick from several choices what the final image will look like and even fine tune it and in this case came out pretty good. It's a room upstairs that the cats hang out in. Very bright sunlight was coming through the window. Here are the two separate shots then the combination. Sometimes you really need to do this like when you have a bright sky and shadowy landscape and you want both to be exposed well. Hope you don't mind this little bit of info but I think it's interesting.


 
Yes, very interesting Dave. Thanks for the information and the samples.
 
The bridge here does some pretty nice hdr-pictures, but to get some art-effect a software will do a much better job.
When I felt the impulse in 2013 to take some pictures from industrial buildings, using the 3 shot method and using a software for hdr-rendering
gave some really nice results I think.
There is some free software for hdr-rendering available in the web.
