If you, Saphire or anyone else is interested - I'm attaching a screenshot showing the source images and the CS2 'merge to .hdr' interface for the church/graveyard image.
The merged image, seen on the right, was then opened in CS2 then tone-mapped with the photomatix plugin to produce the final image which I'd attached to my earlier posting.
As I said - the content isn't anything special but the opportunity had presented itself for me to set up in a quiet corner where I could try out a series of shots for experimenting with .hdr and tone-mapping.
I used spot metering - took a reading from the sky and a second reading from the darker wall - then took 5 shots with one stop intervals (as seen in the attached source image)
Dimensions are approx. 1000 x 735 pixels as that was necessary to show the full CS2 interface and source images.
