Very nice photos. HDR, even on a single shot, really helps to bring out the color and details. I really like number 2. Keep up the good work, have fun, and have a GREAT DAY!

I was in Sedona 1 year ago right after Christmas. Beautiful blending of images in HDR.

I really lie the two single shot photos. I love the way "HDR" brings out the detail.

Hi Bob and everyone posting. For the good of the group. When I see incredibly wrong information in the community I would not be helping if I let it pass.
There is no such process as single image HDR. Wait please, before you start arguing. ;) HDR, or high dynamic range, is the series of multiple exposures of a single scene, exposed correctly for brightest highlights, deepest shadows, and mid tones between, usually in a 6 stop bracket, joined together in HDR software to create one image with full exposure range. All the correct exposures joined to give full detail of the scene.
HDR joins the image exposures together.
What you are calling HDR is Tone Mapping. You can obviously Tone Map a single image, but that is not HDR. Badly/Overly processed images in Tone Mapping is what uninformed people call bad HDR. HDR is the exposure joining process, Tone Mapping is processing how the scene looks. Both can be part of the process, but are separate pieces, and NOT interchangeable. I hope this helps. Keep shooting!!

Thanks for posting the "right" information. I still like the "HDR" images that were posted above.

Mike, you are correct in that the above images were tone mapped v. HDR. I think, however, HDR is becoming generic for "a certain look" that is stylistic presently. Sort of like Kleenex and Tissue.
Is it acceptable to this group to post both true HDR and tone mapped images? I for one find it acceptable. I do quite a bit of HDR and the images above are just part of a small number that I tone mapped so I can go either way.
