OK, my first attempt at HDR, and a photo for this thread. I thought I had my camera set up correctly but apperently not. I thought I had auto bracketting turned on, but the 3 pix I took all had the same EV setting, so something was set wrong elsewhere. Anyway, I went into ViewNX2 and manually changed the EV setting for two of them, one plus 1 and one minus one and one at base setting. Then converting it to monochrome when rendering to HDR in photomatix.

Critique away!!! My interest will be in taking B&W pix of old barns/farm buildings.
