Purnell in HDR.

@Sidonie: so i used a digital SLR that has a function to "bracket", or take more than one shot quickly at different exposures. So i got three pictures, one very dark, one pretty good and one very dark. The program on my computer (Photomatix) digitally combined them to pick up the details in the shadows and highlights, making the image closer to what a human eye can capture. The results are normally pretty cool.
And yes, I did mean tripod. (but it could be anything... beanbag, etc.)
