I really like the shots as well. I looked at your photo stream and see that these are HDR. What do you use to process?

Yup, it's HDR. I use photoshop CS3 for the HDR merge and tonemap, then I use lightroom for the color corrections.

Very good work you've done.

Impeccable! My first thoughts without reading your paraphrase was 'Wow, nice 3D works!' - but now I know better!
I'm not sure how it works, but I'm gonna find out more about it.

My method is to take 3 photos (some people do more but 3 works for me) at 3 exposures, correct, two stops over, two stops under. My camera has bracketing so it'll do all three automatically. I think most SLRs have this. Shoot in RAW.
In photoshop open the three pictures and pick merge HDR under automate in the file menu. When it makes the HDR image drag the slider to find a good even exposure. Now pick 8-bit under mode in the image menu. Pick local adaptation and drag the two sliders off to the right. From here is the tricky part. Play around with the tonal curve histogram until you find a good balanced lighting for your scene. Nothing too over or under exposed. I can't really explain how to use it, I just play around until I find something pleasing.
Save the psd file and open it in lightroom (or just edit it in photoshop). I prefer lightroom because it has the clarity slider (I don't know what the photoshop equivalent is). Bump up the saturation, contrast, black levels.
Not all pictures make good HDR pictures. Look for areas where there's a lot strong sunlight and dark shady areas in the same picture.

Wow Poon, that's excellent! However I have this feeling that my Fuji s100FS had that bracketing feature too! Problem is, I've yet to play with it as often as I'd liked, so I'm not sure how to go there yet, but with your tutorial, I'd like to try it (hopes). Thanks!

You really can't go wrong shooting anywhere in Vancouver. One of my favorite spots is Granville Island. It has boat docks, a public market, a view of the ocean, and it's under two bridges. Downtown has a lot of great architecture and you can see the mountains around the north end.
