here's one of the original photos. this is the zero exposure compensation image. what i've been doing with my HDR is a bracketed exposure at 0, -2 and +2 EV. i find the using continuous drive mode with bracketed exposure works a treat, just hold down the shutter realease, wait for three shutter clicks, and tada!
the setting for this were as follows:
Canon 400D
1/125s
ISO100
f/8.0
55mm (89mm equiv.)
as for combining them...i used Photomatix, it works a treat!
it was quite a hassle almost, i took around 55 photos...all in HDR, which meant after i batch combined them...i had to manually open and adjust them, which was usually just a sharpen and crop, maybe some contrast.
hope i covered everything...
oh!
here's the rest of the photos form saturdays expedition. most are in HDR, a few look a bit dodgy...
