Paul Cocker   10 #5 Posted April 23, 2012 1st Image.  Shot with Canon 5D, 17-40 4L Lens at 17mm, f/7.1, 100 ISO (I try never to shoot higher when doing HDR)  Shot 5 exposures -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 EV put together with Photomatix (great program) and then some post-processing in photoshop.  Pretty much same for the others as well.  Hope this helps.  P.

Number Six   10 #6 Posted April 23, 2012 Do you find the results are much different with -2, 0 and +2?  I'd have hoped a RAW from a 5D would be able to go a stop each way easily (so you can get the +1 data from the 0 or +2 file, if you see what I mean?)

Paul Cocker   10 #7 Posted April 23, 2012 Yes, I agree. I always used to shoot as you say, three raw files, but for some reason I feel I get better results from shooting five, plus when shooting manually I know it's three clicks on the dial to the next EV.  I could process as five and just shoot three but as I'm there I might as well shoot the other two. Some people swear by shooting seven, or even nine, but that really does sound excessive to me.  I will say it also depends on the conditions, if the scene in question doesn't offer a great tonal/textural range then why shoot beyond that when three would cover it. All subjective I guess but I might try processing this image with three files to see if there is a difference and to convince myself!  P.

Just wondered if the extra shots added much - as you say, it depends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Paul Cocker   10 #10 Posted April 23, 2012 GA - Photomatix Pro v4.1 I think (I'm at work so guessing the version number)  Six, I always shoot any HDR on a tripod with a shutter release, though I never approach the scene with it on the tripod as it limits your movement before you've found where you're going to shoot it from.
