@Shaahin: Hi Shaahin
I haven't tried that. I've only been taking photography seriously since the summer when I got my Canon. I'm just starting to get used to the different settings. Thanks for the tip, I will give it a go. At the moment I've been playing around a lot with HDR but like trying as many different techniques as I can.
Very nice shot! I do try every once in a while the HDR technique too! And some of the results are magnificent. Although, I always have a problem with moving objects! How were you able to capture this? -- Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year!

@juant3: Hi there,
I have tried two techniques so far and still experimenting. On this one I took three exposures with bracketed exposure mode , converted them to jpg and then blended them in Photomatix. Photomatix seems to deal with moving objects quite well. This wheel was slow moving, so that helped.
Recently, I have been trying to work with the raw image without conversion. I try to make sure all the raw files I want to blend have the same colour temperature and then I open them in photoshop HDR tool, adjust and play around until it looks ok.
Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you too. .

wow! beautiful capture! Blessed Christmas to you and your loved ones!
