In Example 1, did you use multiple exposures or a single exposure? With multiple exposures how do you avoid movement of the water or the boat? |
I used a single RAW file processed at different exposure values in Lightroom and combined in Photomatix Pro.

| I have never been able to get the hrd option in photoshop to work. I always get an error about not evnough information to create image or something like that. SO I pretty much gave up on it, even though i think the results look really great ... when (if) you can get the bloody thing to work ... |

I believe the EXIF must be intact and they have to be exposed differently. Could this be your issue? |

Well, not really. The EXIF must be different. If you try it with the same RAW file (different exposures), you have to rip out the EXIF data. This is done by opening the image in photoshop, copy the image (ctrl-a, ctrl-c,ctrl-p) and saving it. This removes the EXIF data. Of course, you'll then (in the HDR process) have to set these values. |

You are correct - I wasn't clear in my post.
On the few times I've actually used Photoshop for HDR instead of a different program I was unimpressed.
Picturenaut is free and does a decent job, although the interface isn't as nice as some of the other HDR programs. |

Whoa, I lost track of this. What I got was JPG files, Juliet... And as far as I can tell, the subject doesn't even NEED HDR per se... The reason you are having problems is because you are pushing too far. Look at it this way: if you try to merge 3 files, one of which is perfect median exposure, one of which is way underexposed for the highlights, and one of which is way overexposed for the shadows, think of the problems the program has....
What you need is a "max exposure" that is perfect for the shadows, a "min exposure" that is perfect for the highlights, and however many other exposures you need to bridge the gap between. But if you include overs that open the shadows too much and unders that that close the highlights too much, then you are gonna have a piss-poor HDRI rendering.

How does this compare to the original you tried? The pic at the start of this thread isn't there anymore.
