Thank you for dropping by the blog. The photos are not HDR. I used a tripod and shot the frames somewhere between 6 and 8 seconds at f11 with a 12-24mm Nikon lens. In Photoshop, I used the lens correction filter to tame down the convergence of the wide angle lens, adjusted the white balance, and followed up with levels, curves, a bit of saturation and sharpening.

When I do serious photography, it is usually landscapes and I will at times blend frames due to the wide range between sky and foreground.

Merry Christmas!
I really like your photos of your house! Did you HDR those? Really spiffy
