Default City of Color

I'm starting to find out that night HDR is a lot harder then daytime. Sometimes things don't quite work out or you have a lot light pollution that completely ruins your image with noise which can be difficult to get rid of. But in the end if you can get it right where you want it, it can really be worth the effort to put extra time on it to make it just right.

This is my last image that I took while in Austin a few weeks ago for a photo expo that was going on. I got a buy one get one free gallery wrap so you can bet that I will be getting this on a 20X30 for sure

Excellent Job! I havent' gotten serious about HDR yet, but I'm starting to play around with it. It's easy to do bad ones, not so easy to create Beautiful ones like You've presented here.
Theres a program call Neat Image, that is excellent for reducing noise in Photos; although yours doesn't appear to need it. I've been using it for a few days and it's amazing.
How many shots did it take to create your HDR? and what program do you use to process them?
Thanks
Michael.

Absolutely beautiful. Really the reflections in the water make this photo pop. Yes, HDR is extremely hard to do at night in comparison to daytime. The noise is definitely the killer. You did a great job on this one.
