This is an HDR (high dynamic range) image of a miners cottage near Moonta SA.
The final pic is comprised of 6 shots taken at 1/2 stop intervals in an attempt to capture all of the colour light/shadow, I'm reasonably happy with this one, however it's very easy to overdo it and the results can look quite unrealistic.
Nikon equipment used, any decent digital SLR would be capable of the same.

I didn't know you were a photo buff, Santa. I'm a member of Red Bubble where quite a few of the bubblers do HDR. I've never tried it... sounds too complicated and time consuming for an impatient person like myself. However I do fiddle around in Photoscape (poor man's Photoshop) a bit.

Morning Gary,
Have had an interest in photography for over 40 years, yep SWMBO and myself were both contributors to Red Bubble at one time, for some reason the interest waned.
Your right HDR does take a bit of planning and stuffing around, the results are also somewhat unpredictable, some shots work, some don't,

a good and easy way to do HDR is take your series of shots and then use PaintShop Pro X Ultimate to make them HDR.
Or you can use Photomatix as I do, pretty much regarded as the industry standard.
The trick with HDR is in understanding which subjects will respond well to the process.
Paintshop is pretty much the poor mans Photoshop and as such is somewhat limited.

Hi Santa,
I agree I also use Photomatix as well as PSP X 6
Have you tried PSP X 6 with HDR, very easy to do IMHO much easier than PM and the same results.
Morning Wombat,
Nope never have.
Been using Photomatix for a long time and am pretty comfortable with it.
Its easy to overdo the HDR thing, some shots respond well others, not so much.
I have to agree with overdoing it, but some people like the effect, I do not.
I forgot to say I like your shot posted in this topic.
I also put some on GN sometime ago
