How to take an HDR picture..

[NoisyDante]

Not sure myself, I've done it before in video editing programs but I'm not sure what the procedure might be for something like Photoshop.  I'll look it up and see if I find anything.

My modest attempt at bleach bypass inside Photoshop. 

I imported the image, made a duplicate, and set the top layer's blending option to overlay.

I then added a hue/saturation layer, and set the saturation to about -65.

Then I added a level and a color balance adjustment layer, and just fooled around with some settings to make it a little more blue and get the whites to bloom.

not all bikes but some of my HDR stuff from traveling and a few bike ones too. I shoot with an old Canon Powershot a620 (IMO still a great "point and shoot" camera, has a lot of manual options that I use just can't shoot RAW unless I hack it and I don't want to do that so I am limited to jpegs on it) and use Photomatix... I was getting into it for a while and things got busy, well too busy for a hobby at least, now things seem a bit more normal so I might get back out with the camera again.

If you right click these and grab the link from properties you can see them full res:

Sized 3200px × 1200px mainly for dual-monitor desktop, bottom row of images were from Athens and top panoramic stitch was from Mykonos


and...

9626px × 2222px full res of the panoramic portion, this was created from a total of 15 images (I moved the camera 5 times with 3 exposures each, was my first attempt at panoramic HDR)

I actually like the results of the exposure fusing instead of the HDR.  For the HDR images, I started with one of the pre-programmed settings and backed off the saturation a little to reduce the "cartoonish" look.  The HDR images seem to be a little IZ_.  Any thoughts?

Here are some examples:
