Great book with beautiful, inspiring pictures and helpful info on how to take and make HDR images. The only reason that I deducted one star was because I was hoping for a bit more specific data on how to process HDR, such as for this type of shot take so many frames and then use these settings as a starting point. Photomatix is a great program but it overwhems me. I guess no difinitive starting place exists but it would be so much easier if it did!

An easy to read book on HDR photography and available resources and references.

It seems to cover only the basic HDR principles. I was happy to see a good list of software that could be used for HDR processing. But the features of those tools, their pros and cons are not described well at all!

nice images but the steps are a little outdated now that lightroom is around. still useful info, but I tend not to rely on presets as much.
