HDRI Photography Around Taos

I'm experimenting with some new HDRI, High Dynamic Range Imagery, and just took my first set of photos out past the country club at the Rio Pueblo. Basically, with HDRI, you take three images, preferably on a tripod, and with either one or two stop differences in AEB, Automatic Exposure Bracketing.

So, I took these with a 0, +2, and -2 stops, and then used the software to merge and align them and use different renditions and tone adjustments. It's pretty amazing what you can do, and I know that this first effort will improve as I practice. Here are five different renditions of the same merged three photos.
