Another HDR attempt by myself!!

[cameron]

I have been experimenting and trying more HDR images but it just was not happening for me, but i do like the various outcomes from each photo. all the photos were made with 3, 5, or 9 photos then put together with photomatix. i got my tripod and new memory card so this is the results,and all the photos were taken at around 5.30am as i thought this would be a good time lol....please comment and criticize as i want to know my own problems and so on. thanks

thanks, thats basically how i make them but i can certainly get a few tips from it, thanks

Well, rabies usually produces multiple exposures from the same RAW-file. The problem with moving trees would be eliminated.. Secondly, more exposures does not mean better results. Just have enough exposures to cover the whole range of light in the scene. Usually -1, 0, 1, or -2, 0, 2 is plenty.

lol i cant shoot RAW files and my exposure thing only goes from -2 / +2 with 1/2 increments

Okay then, then try a picture with one at -2, one at 0, and one at 2. You don't need all the steps in between...

is there any benefit of shooting inbetween, will i be loosing out on anything if i dont shoot inbetween. thanks

it's possible, but outdoors, i doubt it.
