personally those r not the type of HDR i love.....i love dramatic HDR..but not to the stage where people think its fake...or u start to see halos all around..  ^^
p/s: btw..u can use dodge n burn to make those halos less visible..

thanks !!

yea that bush over tehre is distracting , but i need a zoom lens that can zoom further 4 that or probably a lil more cropping.

bout exposure...how to take multiple exposure?

Black card trick can do the job..but provided the bright n dark part r seperated into 2 side of the photo EG top vs bottom / left vs right....if lets say u r taking sunrise..top is dark..center is bright..bottom dark again..black card could help..but u'd have to sacrifice a lil bit of the top exposure..making top extremely dark...
imo HDR get overcooked easily..u might wanna try exposure blending with photoshop...shoot with multiple exposure..and slowly mask out part by part...

Again, underexposed.
The black thing on the left is distracting. CS5 content-aware fill can easily fix that.
Cropping at 16:9 / 16:10 would be much better.

fishnoxygen : i usually used centered metering...
if landscape photography should i juz used matrix metering???
or better take 3 exposure and blend in all

HotChocolate : most of shots i juz used the Aperture mode...
i still dont know how and what is the "correct exposure", which metering mode to use,

manipulation time~ ^^

This is the 1st picture that i edited.
C&C are welcome 

autofocus la.. but that's the actual size of what i can get, so small.. 

900mm on FF. Will give it a try on my APSC body to get 1440mm.

iso 400
1/400
F10

yeay:D

You wanted a bokeh shot?Focus on the leaves while the background is blur?

Use a bigger aperture like F2.8 or so and increasing the shutter speed  If underexposed, pump up your ISO 

How do you make the lights become that shape? I mean all the lights is same shape
