Hi, I have been using Photomatix Lite and Pro trial versions and can confirm Dan’s findings that you get good HDR images from handheld and using bracketed exposures and continuous shooting mode in my Canon 350D. On a very few occasions the Lite version gave slightly fuzzy images but the Pro version results (from the same 3 source images) were great. This shows the benefit of the Pro version as it includes anti ghosting and for me, who will always be shooting handheld, it has convinced me to go for the more expensive version.

Hi Daphne

I’m not sure I really know the answer – you might as well ask what the best lighting situation is to take a photograph full stop – there’s not a specific answer really.

For HDR though, I guess it only really makes sense if you are trying to capture a scene which has a greater degree of brightness than a normal picture would faithfully reproduce, and either:

- Physical filters aren’t available or won’t do the job (graduated filters etc)

- You want to retain detail in all areas – dark shadows to bright highlights

- You like the HDR effect and want to use it

Not the neatest explanation in the world. When I was doing it a lot, I basically just took bracketed exposures for all the pictures I took, and then if I wanted to HDR them, I could.

I am physically having problems reading all your tutorial, so I don’t know if my question is within the body of your text. Could you tell me please, what is the best lighting situation to gather photos for HDR processing? Thank you

Hi Jon

Sorry, I was away for the weekend!

You’ll get along fine with the 350d – I used one and wouldn’t have changed had I not managed to break it. I now have a 450d which is better, but not orders of magnitude better. My friend Andy (whose blog is linked to from the right) has a 5D, and that is a big leap in quality, but also expense.

Cheerio,
Dan

Have now purchased photmatix and thanks for the 15% – my first 2 pics as per your instructions turned out great however also had a few failures but can’t wait to find some more subject matter and be creative – doing wonders for my previous bored state.

Dan,
Previously mentioned I had a 350d which is several years old now, given the updated technology and then a mid budget what camera/s would your experiences recommend as a good tool to start the HDR process

Thanks,

Jon M
