I've been meaning to try out some HDR shots for a while, anyway i finally got round to it and here they are

their a little grainy and not very sharp it was getting quite dark and with the pier moving slightly it was hard to get the shots aligned

what y'all think

HDRs

1)


2)


3)


4)


Normal Non-HDRs

5)


6)


7)





cheers

the third is epic

the hdrs are ok, seems like it would work, maybe try some other ways of editing them.  i think the other shots are waaay better though, much more original and creative, the high contrast one of what looks like people dancing or walking or something, thats cool. 

High Dynamic Range, its a 32 bit image which has a larger range of colour which produces in theory an image closer to what our eyes actually see.

its fast become a ruined skill that was used to create stunning landscape images etc, now it just become a gimick little scrots use on everything because 99.9% of the time their photography is poor.

thanks for all the comments, it's a small town south of Bristol called Clevedon

You moved the camera when you were taking the pictures for the HDR's, you can see it on the first pic. Use a tripod.
The 5th is very good though.

It does seem to be overused (whether just here or generally I don't know), but done well there's a time and a place for it.

I quite like these, not sure if the first is a bit too good to be true tho, if you know what I mean.
The colours in the long exposure are good.
