Honestly, the wikipedia entry that I linked in my first post explains the process better than I ever could in my own words.  It even shows an example of an image using 4 different exposures to get to the final image.

Ok, sorry...  :-[  I tend to get a little over-enthusiastic once my curiosity has been roused, and I wanna ask all the questions that are running through my head all at once.  I'll just go read up on it...  :)  Thanks for threading the topic!!!

Nice shots, DB.  Out of curiosity, how early are you arriving to get shots that aren't completely flooded with visitors?

Yep, I get these shots either before they let people in, or after they shut down.  A few of the shots have been during open hours (and you can see ghostly images of people in some of them), but I enjoy my quiet strolls through the fest grounds all by myself before opening canon.  Nothing like having the place all to myself... :)

I agree- it's as if, through this lens, Faire actually LOOKS the way I know I (and I think many Rennies) see it in their mind's eye- a magical, vibrant landscape...

It's not just the HDR techniquie, because there are many ways to adjust the levels- it's ARTISTRY and TALENT, and you have it in spades.

There are many programs that can process HDR. One is Photomatix

here's their Tutorial

Another is Hydra for Aperture users.

I know a bit about levels in CS, and switching modes before tweaking, but it was the multiple image part that threw me at first.  I wish I could afford new software, but maybe I can play around with it in CS and stumble upon something vaguely similar. 

Or...  not.  LOL

Agreed! ...as for the mind's eye..the last shot just above of the little thatched cottage and the flower lined pathway...pretty sure Anna would love to live there. :)
