Thanks ( Servicedriver~ name??) I did this one last night. Its a small waterfall in a nearby park. If ya get low enough the waterfall gives an illusion of being much larger.

Congrats on POTD Steve, one of the best HDR's I have seen for ages on here. The low POV really gives power to the image.....Cheers, Graham

Thanks for the comments Graham ( now I know your name ). I've been experimenting with a new technique in creating HDR's that I figured out. It involves using a Radiance file that has a 32 bit depth. There is a lot more flexibility and I think better outcomes. It becomes very easy to be exceptionally accurate, or, if a more artistic approach is desired, total control of every aspect of the image, rather than just pushing a slider to see what looks good or acceptable. The low point of view was achieved by having the camera about 8 inches above the waterfall. I would be embarrassed to say how short the fall really was!
