Well, my camera was stolen, and so I thought now might be a good time to play around with HDR software. All I have is a few single raw images to play with (as opposed to a series of bracketed images), but it will be a good start to begin to learn some of the tools. So I'm diving in.

I am using a free download of photomatix which you can get here: http://www.hdrsoft.com/download.html . A watermark will appear on the image till I upgrade. But that is fie for this early stage in the game for me.
