In the case of HDR it is actually better to shoot in JPEG and let the camera judge the exposure.
And with most digital SLR's there is a 'exposure bracketing' mode where you set the camera up on a tripod and then select the exposure range and one shutter press will fire 5 shots of varying exposure. Say -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

Yep, got that all sussed out. General consensus seems to be 1 RAW pic isn't the best method.

Thanks again for all your help guys.

Try adding night into the equation as well Nath...

I use Photomatrix to combine my HDR images and it tends to get confused when there is movement...Dont know how PS handles this...anyone?

Comes up as a massive blur in PS. Looks like you have done a long exposure and bumped the tripod. Whatever is moving (ie. leaves, branches, water, etc) will appear blurry.

I wonder how the k20d would handle the situation, because it can do that per pixel hdr shot in one frame... I also just found all my old pentax lenses, makes it very tempting for me

I found this example:

The right is the single frame hdr... pretty sweet!


agentorange: cs3 photoshop, will take forever to try and align the images and give you a blurry mess at the end of it if there was movement.

Also found this mini review of cameras for HDR photography

http://www.popphoto.com/popularphoto...otography.html

also canon users should check the italics at the bottom of the page... very interesting.
