You say you move stops though for a lot of your HDR from the original exposure though. Which one is the original exposure straight off the camera?

I do that sometimes too, but for this example it's a true multiple exposure HDR - the 4 shots on the left are the four original exposures (4 separate shots) used for the HDR.

cool, gotcha.

sorry to keep asking random questions.... just one more... everywhere I have read about bracketed exposures gives examples of shooting at 0 and then +1/-1 or some exposure inbetween... but thats 4 exposures. Do you shoot auto bracketed or pick and choose based on the situation?

I have found that pick and choosing usually means touching the camera on the tripod and adjusting which takes time and can cause odd artifacts between exposures.

nothing to be sorry about - I am glad to help.

I had not done it using AEB in the past because my cam only does 3 shots - but it is possible and this would be the 'best' way to do it to minimize movement. I learned later on that you can do 2 sets of AEB at appropriate spaces giving 6 total shots. But I haven't tried it. When I first started doing it I was getting a lot of movement in the shots, it's tricky. Photomatix has an "align images" that helps, though. But ideally you want your shots razor sharp - I have yet to reach that point. Just takes a lot of practice.

14 shots panorama - what a beautiful day Saturday was. click to view a bit larger.



btw have my sights on 5D2..

Ah man, The composition of the shot is awesome, but I feel you went a little too far with the HDR. It's a little bit too cartoony now.

But you should defintely get the 5D2. If only for the fact I'll be jealous!

lol

yeah, i pushed it intentionally. btw its not a HDR. just some processing.

another shot from Saturday, you may recanize the person at bottom left. he played at Spybar Fri night and came on a boat party with us.
