Are you using Photomatix for your HDR? and do you process from a single RAW or do you change aperture when you bracket?
Thanks! All of these were done in photomatrix. I've also been trying a trial of Nik HDR Effex Pro. It seems to be superior in most ways. The number of controls is really just incredible - it seems like they've thought of everything, including a halo reduction gradient. There are also 30 presets that you can compare side by side. My big problem with that program is that it crashes more than half of the time I try to process a photo and sometimes I just give up on a particular set of exposures. I have an up to date desktop with plenty of ram - really not sure what the problem is (the system requirements they list are really nothing out of the ordinary).

I usually do multiple exposure - it kind of depends on how motivated I am to setup the tripod for every shot, but my favorite hdr's always come from multiple shots. My only problem is that I have a cheap dslr without very good bracketing control, so I have to spin a dial on the camera between shots - sometimes I end up moving the camera slightly bc my old $10 tripod doesn't exactly lock the way it should anymore.

I got photos of the Upper Falls this summer. Walked up the creek to get there. Probably the most downed trees I have ever seen on a creek walk before.
Would have liked to get photos of it when I was there in October, but the water flow was too great to try it and I'm not someone who would risk traversing a slippery hillside.
