It is quite a bit of work Samir, but only a fraction of the total amount of work. Most of my photos are collected in albums with special themes (mills, mushrooms, harbours, facades, churches, etc.) and the composition of these albums with relevant texts for each photo requires much more work than the editing of the photos. Afterall, I am now retired!
Thanks for the explanation peter, I read somewhere you have to take three captures of same scene, then with special software you work within photoshop to get such amazing effects. I would love to do it but I don't know how to deal with PS neither have I the patience :)
Enjoy your retirement my friend!
Samir, until now I didn't create real HDR images based on several photos of the same scene. I got pseudo HDR images based on tone mapping of a single photo. When you use the default settings of the software you get an HDR-like image within a few seconds, e.g. by the freeware package http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/ The various HDR software tools are much more simple than PS!
