Hello Charles, I did double check the exif data and the settings I indicated are correct. It should be noted that I did these as experiments to learn more about how it works. The scenes presented may or may not be best suited for HDR. I will do some further experiments to see what I can learn about it. Certainly the HDR settings lower contrast, but that is probably to be expected when recording a scene with too much dynamic range. I can tell you that the camera must be still while taking the sequence of shots (3) or you will get image blur.
I keep thinking the Redwoods would be an ideal location to try this out, as I have many shots there that just can't handle the scenes. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, April 19, 2010, 1:01:48 PM, you wrote: CR> On Apr 19, 2010, at 14:30, Bruce Dayton wrote: >> I just happened to try a few other shots at different settings - so I >> can show you what it looks like.
