Just don't use it in your myspace/hi5/etc. background. I hate that.

A three exposure blend of the lunar eclipse

This one is a wider cut, taken a little later than the other shot.

I don't like HDR shots that go out and smack you in the face with nasty super-saturated toneless halo-tastic images. Not my thing.

So what this is is three fairly high-contrast images taken right after each other blended in Photoshop by hand instead. I wanted to show the way the moon was lighting up the bay and the mountains while I was showing the way the moon looked. And this is mostly because I haven't gotten a grad-ND filter yet.
