My First HDR

This is from Disneyland last week. This picture is actually three photos (taken at different exposures) merged into one, if you're not familiar with HDR. What do you think? I used Photomatix to do the merging, because I'm too lazy to figure out how to do it another way so far.

White Balance

For my next act, I will attempt to balance the whites! Do you ever have pictures that you take indoors that always come out yellow/orange/oddly colored? I hate that. I try and try and try but auto white balance is just not my friend. So, I learned how to play with white balance settings, and I figured out how to set the custom white balance on my camera. It was such a fun experiment, and my subject definitely helps with the quality of the photos. (Typical momtog, I know that's what you're thinking)
Auto white balance is not my friend... Yellow baby.
 And, custom white balance. It doesn't look like someone pissed all over the photo!

Edited: I changed the 2nd pic for a little better comparison (I think...)
