No this isn't exactly where I live.

Failaka Island, Kuwait.
I really love that place, I go there at least once a year. It's pretty much every photojournalists dream.
Rich history and hasn't been changed for about 17 years, ever since Gulf War II which ended a year before I was born. I didn't get to live anything of the war which I think is the main reason I'm nuts over trying to picture as much of it as I possibly can.
My father fought along side both the Kuwaiti and American military, all his personal pictures, videos and equipment from that war is now mine, I happen to be very possessive over certain things. :D

I have more pics but didn't have much time to check them out yet.

Comments and critique are both welcome! :popcorn: (Don't be too harsh, my first try at HDR)
Comment and I'll hate you for the rest of your life, critique is much more appreciated lol.
 
wow that is incredible pics.. i wish i had my fathers pics from the war when he was in IRAN.. so cherish them always... mine were lost along the way... :(
 
Very good for first HDR attempt. I didn't even notice it was HDR until you pointed it out.

How many exposures, how many steps apart, and what processing program?

5 pictures joined, one stop apart from +2 all the way down to -2
Photomatix did the job, Photoshop is not that good when it comes to HDR.

It's okay, I'll explain what it is :)
I have 5 pictures at different exposures (2 underexposed dark ones, a perfectly exposed one, and 2 overexposed bright ones) and then using Photomatix I joined all 5 of them and what you get is a high dynamic range imagine (HDR)
