Foster Botanical Garden HDR 5/18/09

On my day off, my friend and I visited Foster Botanical Garden. It was a pretty good day with some overcast. I decided to take some shots for HDR this time since there were really beautiful colors in the plants I found in the new green house.
The Buddha was really back lit and dark. HDR helped balance the background and foreground.
I found the color of this plant was really unusual and I used HDR Detail Enhancer feature on this shot.
HDR helped to bring the outdoor colors into these shots instead of being blown out.
I tried other HDR process for outdoors shots to get the details of the branches/roots of the canon ball tree.
In this darkened tree covered pathway, I was able to get better exposure w/ my 3 shots.
Here's the BEFORE shot of the green house looking out into the gardens. This was shot at +0 EV.
Here's the 3 shots combined AFTER HDR process. The colors are far more vibrant because of the combined exposures.
