To highlight warm texture of wood, I decided to use HDR (High dynamic range) technique. To create HDR photo, you need camera with auto exposure bracketing (AEB), such as my Canon 400D. Put camera on a tripod, open camera menu, set AEB to maximum (-2..+2 for Canon 400D). To avoid even small shaking, set 'Drive mode' to 'Self-timer / Remote control' and then take a photo with remote control. Camera will take 3 photos with different exposures ('normal', 'under', 'over'):

Next step is to generate HDR image from these 3 photos. I used program called Photomatix Pro. First step is generating...

...and second is tone mapping...

Often, HDR images look too 'strong', unrealistic. To avoid that, I loaded normally-exposed photo to Photoshop (layer 1), then added HDR image (layer 2), and set layer 2 opacity to 50-60%.

The final step was to add 'vintage' effect to photos. I learned it from wonderful Veerle blog and I also wrote how to automate this effect - http://www.vladstudio.com/photoshoptutorials/tutorial.php?vintage_effect .
