This is my entry for =hellfirediva 's photo technique contest!

Featuring the Saint Anna Church in Wiesmath, Austria, in High Dynamic Range composed of 5 different exposures.

Using a Nikon D50 and a standard AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm G ED on a cheap Giottos Tripod.
I shot this at sunset, that's why the overcast sky is bathed in beautiful colour. It was windy and cold that day, and the church is on the highest hill around.
I didn't use any filters except for a Skylight 1A by Cokin.

The shots were processed in Nikon Capture NX for RAW conversion, HDR made in Photomatix Pro, and again sharpened and slightly corrected in Capture NX which does a better job at "Unsharp Mask" than CS2. I added the text and the frame in CS2.

I hope this is a good choice for the contest!
