DESCEND
An HDR experiment. For some reason I feel the need to play the purist. I don't want to use a program like Photomatix to process my HDR images unless I understand myself what it is doing.... so I continue to play with multiple layers and masks and shadow highlight adjustments, and high pass filters etc, etc. I don't have it down, but it will be something interesting to occupy a number of 365 posts.

Apparently it is possible to do inside the camera. But I am pretty sure that my camera does not offer double exposures
Taylor, There is only one camera I know of that boasts being able to do this, and I don't know to what extent... that's the new Sony. I assume it is just a setting that automatically auto brackets 3 shots, which you could do with your camera. There is just not an auto setting. If you set your bracketing to 2 stops either way, and shoot at 8 frames per second (holding the camera very still), your camera can do it too. There is a way to process them automatically in photoshop, but I don't like how it works there.
Is it only in CS4? I use the photomatix one. Sometimes it works and sometimes it looks all weird and grainy? Is there a trick that Im missing somewhere?
It is in CS3 (and2) as well, but I don't think it ever worked very well. From what I have heard, the graininess is characteristic of the process, which makes sense. I was just reading an article on it in Professional Photographer, and although I have not read the whole thing, or comprehended the whole thing, I think it touches on a way to decrease the grain... and the writer of the article was using Photomatix. Also, you could check out http://www.stuckincustoms.com/hdr-tutorial/. Once again, I have only skimmed it, but it looks like he starts with Photomatix, and he does beautiful work. When I figure this all out, I will hold a seminar and teach everyone.
