Brilliant image.



What camera do you use and how many exposures did you use to produce the hdr?

Cheers!

Canon 450D is the camera I'm thinking of buying. How do you find it?

It depends on how money you have and the camera you have right know, If you have lens that will work with canon cameras.
But in general i think that the 450D is a good machine comparing prices with more expensive machines.
Take a look here [link] i think this will help you understand what you can get with a better camera

Wow! Good article I now see the advantages that the Canon 40D offer and they're quite convincing.

I suppose it all comes down to the money and the 40D is double the price of the 450D, so I think I'll go for the 450D.

Thanks so much for the info. This will be my first reflex as I have been using a Sony Cybershot 5megapixels, which I have to say is an exceptional camera and has given me quite interesting results, I just hope that the 450D can give me more quality in terms of sharpness and depth.

Theres no doubt the 450D will give you more detail, 5megapixels VS 12.2megapixels and many more...
But is just like you said. 450D is cheaper

This is a HDR with photomatix. Photoshop was only for levels and sharpness
