Great pics, I'm not a big fan of HDR photography myself unless it's used very subtle. That is certainly the case in your photo's. Great colors in the second photo. What's your gear?

Cannon Rebel XT (Lee Ann), not XTi, with the lens that came with it, and a Dynex Tripod (Stacy).  I'm looking into filters for outdoor grass and sky shots, and maybe a bigger lens some time down the road.

Thanks on the comments.

Yeah I'm just experimenting on it right now.  There are some places where HDR has its advantage of correctly coloring a shot, especially when you have extreme light and dark.  I don't advise its use unless you're playing with light and shadow.  I'll have a perfect example of what I am talking about later where HDR produces the correct image that a camera no matter how good can't reproduce.

I do have normal photographs though, but I planned this as a running show of what HDR looks like and hopefully I will get better and better with the style.  These really are my first four attempts at HDR.  I'm kinda afraid of the number of shot's I'll have to take down the road.

Thanks Tim and to everyone else for commenting.

You nailed entertainment.  Refreshing to watch.
