The potential is certainly there, but I agree with Paul that the halos distract from the result. When I've combined multiple exposures, instead of producing an HDR image and tone-mapping, I've used exposure fusion. This is implemented in software like enfuse (part of the hugin panorama software) and tufuse <http://www.tawbaware.com/tufuse.htm>. I've mostly used tufuse, which is command-line software. There is a plugin to integrate enfuse with Lightroom, which probably makes things easier; I haven't tried it <http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrenfuse.php>. I've found the results from exposure fusion to look quite natural, which is my intent with this sort of thing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/coneslayer/2588764510/lightbox/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/coneslayer/3478746032/lightbox/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/coneslayer/2930696962/lightbox/ All that said, I don't have any experience with good HDR software like Photomatix or Photoshop. I think people are producing natural-looking results with those packages as well. When I first became interested in HDR, I played around with free software like qtpfsgui <http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/> and didn't care for the results. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
