Now bring those three images into Photomatix and get a reasonably good tone mapped image. Sorry, but this just looks dreadful but it is an interesting approach. And for terminology, we can't see HDR images on our monitors, we can only see LDR images. What you are talking about is HDR images that have been tone mapped so they can be seen on a standard monitor or printed via a standard printer.

Go to http://www.flickr.com/sl33stak and pick which of my images are "true" bracketed HDR's vs. psuedo. Good luck. Thanks for the cool tutorial Mark! Guy, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

The Pentax K200D (an entry level camera) has spot metering built in. You scene may be a "nightmare" for a general "center-weighted" exposure reading but not for a photographer with a spot meter. Also, I'm glad you use the term "pseudo-HDR" because most people are calling a lot of crap HDR, when it really isn't. I recommend learning how to use a spot meter.

Thanks for sharing. HDR or not HDR, it doesn't matter. What really matters is that this technique makes the picture look better but still being natural. Really nice technique! Thanks for sharing.
