Hi!
I was asked to take a photo of the outdoor holiday lights at my place of work, and I decided to play with HDR and see what happens. I shot three RAW images (-2EV, normal and +2EV, specifically f/8 at 0.6s, 2.5s and 10s) with a Canon 40D set at ISO 100 and an EF 16-35mm L series lens. Images slightly adjusted in ACR then processed in PS CS3 via Bridge.
I think the result was nice enough, and having 32-bit depth really helped me to bring out the darker areas without blowing out the lights. The lack of noise is wonderful. If you’re really interested you can get the 8-bit TIF version at
<http://homepage.mac.com/biff_debris/FileSharing34.html>, but it’s almost 9MB.
Anyway, I was wondering if any HDR proponents here might have any special tricks or tips they’d like to share?
Thanks,
