I really like those OVERexaggerated HDR photos. Here’s some examples. ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4659253070_ff208151c0_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4659253070_ff208151c0_b.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3353/3636439076_96a8ab4eb6_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3353/3636439076_96a8ab4eb6_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2476/3636469406_63c8f375bf_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2476/3636469406_63c8f375bf_b.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3636463856_38db594ef1_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3636463856_38db594ef1_b.jpg) I really really like those and I’m wondering, can I use my simple point and shoot canon with 3mp or will I need to use a fancy camera to get photos like this of mine? Can somebody help me take some pics and turn them into THAT? ---

you need to take 3-5 pics at different exposures. merge the 3-5 pics together and tweak them to your liking. you can do it with your camera…its the post editing that will make the pics look HDR…that is the difficult part ---

It’s a fad that I wish would go away, especially in the car scene. That Evo shot looks awful. ---
