Landscape HDR test

hi all, please give me advice about my HDR capture below.
I just combine HDR, Monochrome IR and raising 1 step contrast on custom Digital filter.

Without a tripod you have to shot in RAW mode and make the Hdr from that single shot.

Hi balunz,
Although it is best to have a tripod when shooting an HDR if I were to adhere to that rule I would have exactly zero HDR photos taken. With careful hand held shots then processing via Photomatix, which has an align by feature option, I have been able to capture some nice HDR scenes.
So to your photo, I like it. It has some good contrasts and looks interesting. Probably would have been just another "blah" shot if not processed in IR and HDR. So continue to do the best with what you have available at the time rather than wait for perfection.

I've never used a GorillaPod so don't know much about them. I have a couple of tripods and honestly don't use them very often. Got a MonoPod a couple years ago and use that most of the time when needing a bit more stability. It's more compact, easier to use quickly and does the job I want.
