This is really good. I've had to just sit and look at everything in this Tavern

What HDR software do you use -- if you don't mind me asking

I bet they serve some wonderful cheeseburgers there.

Thanks everyone!
I use Photomatix, tried the others, but photomatix gives you a better larger
preview window.

With a DR this wide, requires more frames.
The way I start is by shooting manual till I find the middle of the range in the review window on my camera, then setting the bracketing to 5 or 7 shots depending on how dark the first one at -what ever 3 or 4 stops look. if it's not dark enough to see great detail in the brights, then in manual, I dial it down another stop with the shutter and shoot another set.
In PMatix, it's all about the sliders, I may spend 30-60minutes playing around with everything! then after adjusting one, going back to the others and ajusting them again. They all seem to relate to each other.
White peak, gamma etc. are the touchyest (sp).
Just try it and keep going back and forth with the adjustments to find where each one looks the best.
I guess in my mind, im trying to balance everything.
Most of the time, that's what helps, does that make sence?

Thanks for that writeup on your technique. That will be very helpful in my work.

I could look at this photograph for a very long time.
If you ever saw a Richard Scarry book as a kid (my favorite books as a child), well this is the grown up version--so many little details.

The HDR rocks!

Your directions were very clear

I just need to spend time -- and get the right photos.

Thanks for sharing your way of doing it with me/us

I found the waitress (or barmaid) behind the counter on the right side of the frame. Not too much motion for 7 frames.
