5XP HDR shot of the Marilyn Monroe statue in Chicago, Illinois.
The new statue of Marilyn Monroe in her famous pose from the movie "The Seven Year Itch" was buzzing with activity as people happily snapped photos away.
I setup so that Marilyn was almost face to face with the Moon on a cloudless-night until... a monster cloud decided to appear and smother the sky! I waited so long for the cloud to disappear that I chatted with others who came over to see my vantage point and even played a versus game of Angry Birds with someone I just met (I won, lol). Finally, the cloud moved but the Moon moved as well!

This bridge crosses the Haringvliet waterway photo made of 3 HDR shots with ND filter and long exposure time
This was taken on an interesting trip. We went out for sunrise. Half way to get to destination, we figured we will not make it in time so we stopped on the side of the road, where we took pictures of the sunrise. It was my first attempt with doing HDR photography. I learned about HDR from a friend of mine and then I read multiple articles on the web about HDR. Needless to say, I did not quiet master the settings for this first time HDR shot. So in post processing, I kept tweaking different setting on Photomatix in processing the photo but none seemed to get me what I wanted. So I processed the HDR photos in Photomatix, and then went to Photoshop where I lowered the Gamma settings and defused the noise, What turns out is the photo you are seeing. I say not bad for my first HDR shot ever!
5XP HDR shot of Admiralty Arch near Trafalgar Square in London, England.
I walked via The Mall from Buckingham Palace to this location and kept reminding myself "It'll be worth it!" as I trudged along the deceptively long stretch, lol It was also very amusing to see the expressions on passenger's faces as they zoomed by in their cars or waited on the stop light as I was waiting on the long exposures. Yep, you know what I'm talking about... :D
The translation for the Latin inscription is:
(In the tenth year of King Edward VII, to Queen Victoria, from most grateful citizens, 1910)

Single Raw HDR shot of the fireworks show above Sleeping Beauty Castle in Hong Kong Disneyland.
For what Disneyland lacks in sheer terror near Halloween (besides the awesomely large crowds, lol), Disneyland makes up for with creativity, fun and excitement. Thrilled to see the Halloween parade, special attraction decorations, and of course, the laser/light and fireworks finale!

Stone Mountain HDR shot reprocessed with Picturenaut. The first shot I don’t remember if I posted it here but it was done with Photomatix and at the time I didn’t know how to use Photomatix that well – some people like it but this is what I really wanted from the shot. It was such a beautiful morning with the sun rising into a wonderful sky and casting shadows on this mountain on the Alaska Highway. Shot taken in British Columbia, Canada. Just looked – I did post the first effort it in the Alaska Highway Set. On the first one I had used Fractalious on the sky because the clouds came out too blurry with three shots – they were moving pretty fast. On this one I masked the clouds back in from the middle exposure shot to get more detail. The detail in the mountain and the colors in the mountain are so much better and more realistic that the one I did with Photomatix.

HDR Shot of the "House of Sonsbeek"
The "House of Sonsbeek" is a villa in the city park of Arnhem. By the population of Arnhem it is also referred to as "The White Villa" or "Villa Sonsbeek".
The building has a rich history and is being used as a restaurant at the moment and it is designated by the local authorities as an official wedding location.
Sorry for "re-uploading" the picture but I did some more post-processing which I think made the picture more valuable and therefore I decided to take the old one offline and post it again.
5XP HDR shot of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, New York.
Initially, I disliked the construction scaffolding attached to the facade of the Cathedral but I've grown to appreciate it since it highlights the base via the additional light. Didn't know that the roof of the Cathedral also forms a Cross when seen from above~ gotta see if I can find that POV one day!

Non-HDR shot taken just in front of where the previously posted HDR shot was taken.
I know I'm overdoing the one-armed shots of me in the goggles ;-) , but if you look closely at my jacket you can see the snow "snowblasting" me on a horizontal plane (was probably 60-70 k/h winds with gusts higher than that).
In the *trail* on the Annupuri side of Niseko Hokkaido, Japan.
A warm afternoon in the Goulburn area provides a little bit of convection in the clouds... A very dry landscape looks forward to the possibility of rain...
3 exposure HDR shot, merged in Photoshop...
It's a panorama, 5 HDR shots, taken from the Tower of the monastery.
The monastery of St. Dionyssios is located on Mt. Olympus at an altitude of 900 m, and is 18 km from Litochoro. It is built at a naturally fortified position between two small streams, which become on - the Enipeas. Today, the Monastery can be reached through a detour in the forest road, concluding at Prionia, where the climb for the highest peak of Mt. Olympus begins.
According to historical sources, the Monastery was founded in the first half of the 16th century by Saint Dionyssios, and was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. During its 400 years of existence, it constituted a strong religious and economic power in the area. The Monastery owned forestland, lumber facilities, water-mills, flour-mills and animals. Since the beginning of our century, it has not been operating properly, with a total of only 7 monks. However, the Monastery was very popular with the natives of Central and Western Macedonia, as a place of worship, as well as to the mountain climbers.
In 1943 it was considered by the Germans to be the base of the resistance groups of the area, which was the reason why they destroyed it both by means of bombing and detonation. Since then, the new Monastery has been based in Metochi, the existence of which is evident since 1953 under the name "Skala", near Litochoro.
The worship of Saint Dionyssios, its founder, to whom miracles have been attributed, as well as its privileged opposition on the mountain of the gods of Greek Mythology assign, to the monastery a uniqueness by which it attracts many Greek and foreign visitors.
HDR shot. Consists of three exposures taken with a Canon T3i DSLR and Sigma AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG, at 86mm, with the following settings: f/22, 1/60 s, and ISO 100; f/22, 1/40 s, and ISO 100; and f/22, 1/10 s, and ISO 100.
Another HDR shot, I love the look of this technique for landscapes/non-macro shots as well, maybe especially! Three bracketed exposures and then the "default" tone-mapping settings. It seems to work well to use the defaults. Software: Photomatix
I saw this shot when I was out walking, and came back the next day with my camera and a tripod. It's my favorite HDR so far, and might be beginners luck... The more I play with HDR, the more I like it and the more comfortable I get with it. This may be my favorite because it was sort of planned, but the technique made it more vivid than I imagined it to be.
I believe that one additional element hidden behind the concept of "interesting" photography is the element of surprise ... People that "pay" you with the great honour to visit your work should at least be treated by the element of the "unexpected" theme ... They should be presented with different subjects, sometimes totally unforeseen ones !!!!!
The title of the above seen photograph is an honest one my friends !!!! Can anyone tell me what this is ???? It looks like a single room made of cinder blocks and honestly that's exactly what it is ... But what on earth is it doing at the sea's waterside ?
I'm not gonna receive an answer to that I'm sure, but still you would agree with me that along with the spray, colorfull letters writen on each and everyone of its sides, it makes a wonderful HDR image !!!!! (I took 7 shots of the image to make a true 7XP HDR shot, but the little boat located at the left side of the image was getting a little too blurred and I didn't want that to happen ...)
EXIF: NIKON D90 with Nikon Nikkor 18-55 lens, Apperture priority mode, f 8, Focal Length 18 mm, ISO 200, use of ND HOYA X2 filter, exposure compensation forced to -1 EV stop, HDR photo made by only one RAW shot, cloudy weather exposure setting, auto focus mode, 1/25 s, use of tripod, flash didn't fire ...
Quick HDR shot of the pool. Love those reflections, reflections of our actions (karma) in past are part of our lives in present. Karma.
Enjoy, Mario.
Thank you for your comments, suggestions and favorites.

HDR shot.
Autumn Landscape at twilight.
There is noise/artifacts in the blues of this image, which I am not entirely sure why; but I will look past that unpleasantness for now as the sky was awesome on this night.
Best viewed in Lightbox.
