			I tried Photomatix, which is nice for automatic calibration, but in CS3 I had more control over the output.

		 You take multiple exposures of the same scene (helps if you have a tripod...I didn't) and combine them using a third party application.

		 Great pics! You were out in my neck of the woods, too. I live in Spring Green. your use of HDR really brings out the larger than life feel of that weird roadside attraction.

		 HDR is awesome, I love the way it turns an everyday image into something spectacular.  
		
		
		
		
		
			These shots are beautiful. That's a cool place you were at! I'm tempted to try and make some myself.

However much we give our thoughts the will To be our soul and gesture it abroad, Our hearts are incommunicable still. In what we show ourselves we are ignored. The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged By any skill of thought or trick of seeming. Unto our very selves we are abridged When we would utter to our thought our being. We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams, And each to each other dreams of others' dreams. Fernando Pessoa, 1918  |

		 Thanks! 
		
		
		
		
		
			The sky was overcast and it looked like it was about to rain. I like how you can't even tell from those shots.

		 Very impressive, and as Will remarked, very tasteful and 'natural', not in any way trying to instantly grab the attention with blunt bursts of color.
