I read some articles about HDR (High Dynamic Range) in photography which consists in shooting several pictures of the same scene at different exposures and then merging all of them in Photomatix for instance. Anyway I don’t really care about the technic but the end result is really great, not always but often.

Look at this, it was surely not such a great picture at the beginning.

I tried to obtain the same effect just by playing with tones, colors, contrast, etc, on the picture below. I obviously failed but the result is not so bad actually.

This is Bangkok.
