Default Before and After HDR Video

Apologies if I've placed this in the wrong section.
I'm presenting a session on HDR photography to the Melbourne Camera Club tomorrow, and wanted to open with a video that would get people excited. I spent the last few hours at home putting this together which I wanted to share with a larger community.

Comments and constructive feedback welcome.

Pretty cool but I'd shave two minutes off to make it shorter and more compact.

Great job with that video and the images are outstanding. A tad long, however.

How's the Topaz Adjust work? Do you use it before or after you HDR?

This is a nice video that definitely does a great job of showing how a plain image can transition to beautiful HDR images. It is just a tad bit long, I think the gist can be gotten from just two minutes of the vid. Very nice though.

Where's the presentation going to be? Will there be a screencast? It would be nice to catch something like that stateside.


Cheers!

Its a plugin for Photoshop. I have a screencast on my website where I demonstrate its use. Check this link out.

Hi
I loved the video of your HDR pics. I am a big fan of HDR and play with it all the time. Because I loved the pics so much, I can't say that it was too long. If you are going to use it in a presentation, I would keep it just the way it is.
Cheers!;-)
