Darwin - near sunset

First planned (sort of) attempt at HDR. The sun was setting so I took a series of shots at EV+/- 1. Here - 3 frames EV +/- 2, Canon G9, f/8, iso 80, shot from a table top - couldn't avoid the trees - no tripod with me - processed in Pixinsight.

Thanks Barry. These and the other images are experimental. I love the definition in the colours and finding ways to put that to good effect.

if your camera has in camera raw processing you can use what to make 3 separate ev+/- shots from the same shot so you don't get ghosting and don't need a tripod i have just started doing this

Your right Brendan. It's the Sailing/Yacht Club. Was up there working. First time in Darwin and Gove. It was like the Paparazzi up there at sunset.

It doesn't Shane - I've installed CHDK, which extends to capabilities of the camera. Unfortunately on the day, I activated the debug option and the program wouldn't start?

I didn't notice the ghosting on the leaves to the left - actually I think its the breeze - took the shots manually. Had to look again to see that - thanks

Please don't do that. By definition you cannot produce HDR from a single exposure, and the results usually look less than ideal.

These 2 reasons spring to mind:

1. Noise in the darks and shadows is amplified.
2. You gain nothing if the original exposure was clipped anyway, in shadows or highlights.

If either of the above are not a problem in your image, it truly isn't a high dynamic range scene, didn't require those techniques to start with and you could have just used curves or something.

I've heard they're stunning - will be up North next month for a week. Will definitely take the camera. Update.

Guy's - I didn't use AEB - I set the exposure manually and did an HDRComposition in Pixinsight - if your familiar with it?
