View over part of the Alhambra from the Palacio de Generalife.

I took 3 shots at different exposures with my Canon G9 – combined them and got the above result. This is actually closer to what your eyes see than any single shot can be. The dynamic range of a digital camera is 5 stops – the dynamic range of the image is about 7 stops (the human eye is about 9).

Another HDR combination. The Alhambra (from al-Hamra – “the red one”) seen from the Palacio de Generalife. (Reminiscent of “Les Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry” particularly of the Chateau of Saumur scene.)

This is my first try combining several shots taken at a different exposures. I took 5 shots in all, each at 1 stop interval and then combined them to give this picture. The camera (Nikon D300) was set to give “vivid” colours hence the saturated look.
