HDR photographs created in the final editing stages are best achieved by blending (in this case three images) with each image shot with varying exposure compensation settings (using auto exposure bracketing). The constant was the aperature settings for each. Camera settings were adjusted manually for rapid succession of shots to include one underexposured frame and one overexposured frame with final editing of all three images in their HDR format to add the extra "sizzle and pop".
I hope you enjoy the photographs. The first hi-resolution HDR image, shown below is street corner scene taken in Berlin taken just before sunset.
Berlin, Germany- One of the most fascinating places I have visited and a beautiful place to photograph, Berlin Germany has much history and hidden secrets. This happens to be one of my favorite off the beaten path images.
Soviet War Memorial- Berlin, Germany- Erected in 1945 this park and memorial was dedicated to the fallen Soviet soldiers during World War II and is located at the 17 June Street very close to the German parliament - A bronze statue of a soviet soldier prominently positioned on top of the memorial wall which shares a resemblance to the Brandenburger Gate. The inscription on the side of this memorial reads, "ETERNAL GLORY TO HEROES WHO FELL IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE GERMAN FASCIST INVADERS FOR THE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE SOVIET UNION". The memorial is maintained by the City of Berlin and a beautiful place to stop in an visit.
Marienplatz represents the heart of Munich - The square, originally known as Schrannen was later renamed Marienplatz (St. Mary's Square) as a way to ask Virgin Mary to protect the town from a cholera epidemic. Included is the heavy tourist popular Marien tower and the Rathaus-Glockenspiel, where people gather in front of the New Town Hall to witness the ornate mechanical clock with 43 bells and 32 life-sized automaton figures. The Glockenspiel chimes at 11 a.m. every day (as well as 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. in summer). The Neues Rauthaus, which houses the glockenspiel, is a beautiful buliding that was built from 1867 until 1906, and survived the bombing in WWII.
Victory Column (Siegessäule)- Berlin, Germany- The Victory Column is a monumental structure located in the middle of Berlin's Tiergarten. The column is 226 feet tall and is crowned by a bronze statue of the goddess Victoria. Visitors can climb the 285 steps to a viewing platform at the top which has an observatory, offering great views of Berlin. Looking eastward, tourists can see the Reichstag, the Brandenburger Gate and the Fernsehturm. More below....
The interior of the Neue Wache, showing the Käthe Kollwitz sculpture Mother with her Dead Son and the oculus, which exposes the sculpture to the elements.
The Fernsehturm (German for television tower)- is the fourth tallest freestanding structure in Europe. The original total height of the tower was 365 metres (1,198 ft), but it rose to 368 metres (1,207 ft) after the installation of a new antenna in the 1990s.
The below photos were taken with a Canon EOS 7D camera in Berlin, but with no HDR post editing techniques. Enjoy!

Gael Monfils - SAP Open Feb 2011
Gael Monfils (FRA), ranked #12 in the world, is an amazing professional tennis player and athlete. The below images are an example of the level of energy and effort you might expect to see when watching him perform as captured in this and other fast action photographs at the SAP Open on Thursday night in his singles match vs Robert Kendrick (USA). Gael when on to win the high energy match. I hope that I have more chances to see Gael perform again.
