One for the camera/photoshop heads 
Has anyone messed about with them?
For those not in the know, this is the basics behind them:
When a camera takes a photo, it cannot capture the full range of light in the shot.
A picture is obviously made up from the very light sunny bits, down to the dark shadows, and all that is inbetween.
The average camera can only grab a limited range (very expensive ones have wider ranges) so you take a number of shots, each with a different exposure setting.
You then end up with shots capturing the dark areas, and the lightest ones all in greater detail than if you took just one shot to cover them all.
Then you can merge them all, and take the "best bits" from each, to create one single image that shows the whole range better.
I hope that makes sense!
Sadly, my camera doesnt do raw images, which is what is needed to make them properly, but I had a play about anyway and got some decent results.
This was the a "normal" shot taken at the same time as all of the varied exposure ones, to use as a comparison after.
Followed by my first HDR attempt!
(Give it time to load, its over 1MB to keep the quality high)
Maybe the colours are a bit too saturated in places, but Im pleased with my first effort
And this is how they can look when done with proper raw images
