NYC HDR

I've been learning a new photographic technique called High Dynamic Range or HDR. It's a process that allows a far greater dynamic range of exposures (i.e. a large range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques by combining 3 identical yet differently exposed images. Learn more about it here. My experience with HDR has been hit or miss, some turn out great, some don't. The editing process takes significantly longer than normal images. When I was in New York City I found thought the George Washington Bridge would be a good subject to experiment with. The results weren't as good as I'd hoped, but I'm satisfied. I have some much better HDR's of the M Coupe that I'll post later.
