Wow! I absolutely love HDR images. What sort of exposure bracketing are we looking at? I would love to try one some day.

Thanks Daniel & Jessica! Actually, I did it at different timing. I think one was 10 secs, 20 secs and 30 secs. After that, I combined them together to get the best lighting on everything. I used a Hoya Infrared filter 72r that's why each shot has a long exposure. Also, I use ISO 100 because I don't like noisy pics for this particular shot. If you sacrisfice and mod your camera, you can use it like a regular camera and not wait that long for exposure. Hope it helps. Let me know if you want more info on the settings of the camera =) Have fun trying it out and can't wait to see the result!

Amazing shot Wendy...no need to convert your D70! B-) Looks like you got this technique down pat! Marvelously done! Cheers..

@{H} creatives: Yeah, maybe not since I can't bear to have no spare in case my D2X is in service and I need a 2nd camera, which happen before, unfortunately. Tks!
