I haven't really learnt HDR. It's just 1 photo at one exposure. I'm a graphic designer by trade, so I know my way around photoshop pretty well, and have recently been using Adobe Lightroom which has some editing capabilities which look similar to HDR.

Cam, I can't make it to the one of the 25th. I'll be going to the one in November.

The reason I didn't get bothered on that road is that it ends just behind where I parked. There's a security fence at the end of it with roadworks that have been on hold for months. Perfect for taking pics.

Tutorial on HDR please! I have a Nikon D40, but I haven't mastered it to do that yet lol..

LOL. See above.

I basically sit there and tweak it, and it's different for every shot the way I do it. It's not really an exact science (for me anyway). I would teach you, but I wouldn't know where to start. It's more a hands on kinda thing which I would demonstrate, rather than try to explain.

I wish it were easier, but then I'd also probably be out of a job.
