So I wanted to try some HDR effect on an industrial subject. I stopped at the power distribution yard on Sonterra Blvd. at Hwy 281 and took a few scenes using a three-shot burst at -1,0,+1 stop exposure. Did the HDR thing in Paint Shop Pro and here is one result. Not very realistic, but I think appropriate for the subject matter.
HDR is definitely an art. The folks on YouTube make it look easy but its not. Did Paint Shop Pro automatically combine the photos for you or did you have to go in and select areas?

Paint Shop Pro first does an alignment to get the best registration of the images. Then it gives you a choice of six different image types ranging from a slight effect to a very exaggerated effect. After that there are a bunch of sliders to adjust the various parameters. Not too bad once you get into it.
