<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Awesome topic. :) I've got a close friend that does HDR night photography around Des Moines. <a href="http://dcorbettphoto.com/" target="_blank">http://dcorbettphoto.com/</a><br>
<br>
He takes the same photo with different settings on his Canon DSLR Rebel (the newest model) 5 times and integrates them using either Photoshop or Photomania. the photos are not edited as far as coloring. He just combines them for a composite image. since each one is mostly emphasizing 1 or 2 colors. All of the places are real and from around the Des Moines area. Sometimes he used spot lights and flashlights for fun special effects too. I think some of them look like paintings.<br>
