[DM-MUG] OT: HDR night photography

[AB]

Awesome topic. :) I've got a close friend that does HDR night photography around Des Moines. http://dcorbettphoto.com/

He takes the same photo with different settings on his Canon DSLR Rebel (the newest model) 5 times and integrates them using either Photoshop or Photomania. the photos are not edited as far as coloring. He just combines them for a composite image. since each one is mostly emphasizing 1 or 2 colors. All of the places are real and from around the Des Moines area. Sometimes he used spot lights and flashlights for fun special effects too. I  think some of them look like paintings.
