I'm on the fence about HDR photos but none the less I enjoy the processing side of things. I am still very new to this but thought I could post a few bracketed photos for download (not mine) and see what result different people come up with. Here are 5 shots I found on the net to get started with

[EDIT]

Seems those source photos were not all that great. Will find some more...Unless someone has some

here is some from a while ago when I was in Vancouver. Not the best but couldn't find others on the net

I tried your link - get a bounce page that says "error".

Really!? Works here fine. Scanned it with Bitdefender total security and get no positive.

OK - tried it again and got it now. I am new to HDR and will find this a great experiment to help me learn - I hope you don't mind.

I'll post up what I come up with after I work on it for a bit.

This is my very first attempt at HDR - thanks for giving me the opportunity to try this out with your bracketed photos.

I have a lot to learn, but I love to learn this kind of stuff! I had a hard time getting the sky/clouds the way I wanted - result was no where near what I wanted to see. But, I did one at least. I was trying to keep the HDR effect on the light side the first time before I experiment more. I used Oloneo HDR Engine.

Edit to add - here's another try taking some time with different software:

nice.

Stormtech. I think if you were to blend the 2 together you could get the clouds of 2 with the buildings of 1

Thanks for the tip - I'll try it later tonight.

This stuff is fun!
