This is my first try with the HDR processing, I feel very happy about the result and I am very enthusiastic about producing more HDR Photos. A couple of weeks ago I followed the link posted in the Aminus3 News and read Pete Carr's HDR Tutorial in the Vanilla Days photoblog, one of my favorites I have to admit. For this HDR I used Photomatix Pro to create it using five TIFF files created from a single Raw file (exposures -2,-1,0,+1,+2), then I imported the resulting photo to Lightroom for the grayscale conversion, split toning and contrast adjustment, after that the photo was exported to Photoshop to apply a bit of burning to the sky. Please visit Vanilla Days photoblog and read the HDR Tutorial, enjoy!
Bubble theory posits an infinite number of open multiverses, each with different physical constants. (The set of bubble universes is thus a Level II multiverse.) Counter-intuitively, these universes are farther away than even the farthest universe in our open multiverse.
The formation of our universe from a "bubble" of a multiverse was proposed by Andrei Linde. This Bubble universe theory fits well with the widely accepted theory of cosmic inflation. The bubble universe concept involves creation of universes from the quantum foam of a "parent universe." On very small scales, the foam is frothing due to energy fluctuations. These fluctuations may create tiny bubbles and wormholes. If the energy fluctuation is not very large, a tiny bubble universe may form, experience some expansion like an inflating balloon, and then contract and disappear from existence. However, if the energy fluctuation is greater than a particular critical value, a tiny bubble universe forms from the parent universe, experiences long-term expansion, and allows matter and large-scale galactic structures to form.

Wow, this is your first time? I can't believe it! Great work. I really like the bubble effect you gave the photo. It really reminds me of Escher.

@e.: Thank you very much for the kind words e., regarding the bubble effect it is just the reflection on a chrome sphere that caught my attention!
I'm not that a fish eye lover, but this is a picture I like very much. Thanks for the description Alfredo.

@Jan: Thank you very much Jan, this photo was not taken with a fish eye lens, it is the reflection of the surroundings on a chrome sphere! =)
For this picture, if i have 20 hands, i will give u 20 thumbs up! Awesome dude! And i always love HDR images because im really bad at it so i see people doing hdr instead :) The fisheye effect in this picture from the chrome sphere thing was a great idea. AND u look tall! LOL :)

Wwow, how do you this. Fantastic.

@lidia: Thank you lidia, this photo is the reflective surface of a chrome sphere, the curving is because of the object, HDR processing, grayscale conversion and toning was done after, =)
