The Bayon in HDR
The Bayon in Angkor, Cambodia, December 6, 2005.
This morning I figured I’d try my hand at HDR photography. I have a ton of unused pictures from my 2005 vacation in Southeast Asia. HDR seems like a decent means to rescue them. To make this image of the Bayon, I exported the same image at three exposure levels and combined them using Photomatix Pro.
Update: There was an error in the image URL. This has been fixed.

I wouldn't This is a good example of HDR technique. The Eiffel Tower photo on the hdrsoft website is a BAD example because it is highly exagerrated. It would be interesting to see your original images too.
Of course, classical photography demands that you wait for the right light to happen. The two worlds can never compete as equals, right?

Some would say that there's no such thing as a photograph that reproduces reality, so there's no harm to exploring creative renditions via HDR. That aside, I tried it and the rest of the crop turned out crap. I'll blame poor luck with lighting, and general lack of skill with architectural photography.
