My Kinda Town
If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!
I am excited because I upgraded and got the Nikon D2X. This thing is like carrying around a small tank. It's so large that it actually sucks other nearby cameras into it, automatically amalgamating all their megapixel power.
I took this at the top of the John Hancock this evening as night fell.
It was done with 9 exposures. I figured, why the heck not.

at over $4000 for the camera, I hope the tank comes with a helmet for you, imagine the backlash everytime the shutter closes - must be like shooting a bazooka! ;)
-oh yeah, nice shot! :D
