I headed to SF on BART with some photo friends and set out to shoot with a 40D and only one lens, a Sigma 10-20mm. Here's three (hand-held) HDR's that I while in the Financial District.

Among Giants

There have been some differing opinions on hand-held HDR (as well HDR for that matter!) and I've written some of my thoughts down along with these images, most likely opening a can of worms... Check that out here:

    Kudos on these shots. While I like all three, the first is really outstanding - the detail and color are wonderful.

    @PC: Thank you!

    @ES: Steep Angle? I just crouched down low with the lens at 10mm (on a crop sensor) and looked up. When I shoot really wide, I try to stay as low as I can so that the foreground doesn't start >50ft away if I include a lot of sky.

    I was pretty dizzy after TAKING the second pic! rolleyes1.gifThanks for the compliment!
